The 2026-27 American Hockey League season is officially underway, continuing its vital role as the premier developmental circuit for the National Hockey League. With all 32 franchises holding direct NHL affiliations, this campaign brings some fresh looks to the league, most notably the introduction of the Hamilton Hammers as the New York Islanders' new affiliate following the franchise's relocation from Bridgeport.

The AHL remains governed by strict development rules, such as the "veteran rule," which limits teams to dressing a maximum of five players with four or more seasons of professional experience, ensuring a spotlight stays fixed on the next generation of NHL talent.

As the marathon race for the 2027 Calder Cup begins, several heavyweights have emerged as early favourites. In the Eastern Conference, the Hershey Bears remain a formidable force, while the Charlotte Checkers and Laval Rocket are heavily backed to make deep postseason runs. Out West, the Grand Rapids Griffins and Texas Stars are tipped as the powerhouses of the Central Division. Meanwhile, the Colorado Eagles and the Coachella Valley Firebirds stand out as the primary contenders in a fiercely competitive Pacific Division, setting the stage for a big battle to lift the Calder Cup next spring.

League Structure

The AHL season runs from October to April and consists of an Eastern Conference (containing the Atlantic and North Divisions) and a Western Conference (made up of the Pacific and Central Divisions).

While older seasons once featured an imbalanced schedule requiring standings to be determined by points percentage, the league has since standardized the format so that all 32 teams play exactly 72 games, with standings based purely on total points.At the end of the regular season, the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy is awarded to the team finishing with the most points overall.

The Calder Cup playoffs immediately follow the regular season. Under the league's current expanded postseason format, 23 of the 32 teams qualify for the playoffs.The top teams from each division navigate a mix of first-round byes and best-of-three opening series, battling through the divisional rounds to ultimately compete for the Calder Cup.

AHL Teams

This season, 32 teams are competing in the AHL (26 from the United States and 6 from Canada), with the defending champion Abbotsford Canucks looking to repeat their historic 2025 triumph. They made history by becoming the first team from Western Canada to lift the Calder Cup.

The Hershey Bears remain the only active team still operating in their original city since joining the league.They hold the record for the most Calder Cup titles with 13 and have reached the finals 25 times.Their closest active rivals in terms of historical success are the Rochester Americans, who have won the Calder Cup six times and competed in 16 finals overall.

Betting on the AHL

Bets can be placed on the AHL as with any other sport. You can bet on the points spread or place a simple Moneyline bet. The betting market may not be as wide as it is for NHL games but you may also find odds on markets such as which players will score, how many goals a specific player will score or whether the game will go into overtime.

You can also place futures bets on the Calder Cup winner.
