The Edmonton Oilers were founded in 1972 as part of the WHA before joining the NHL in 1979.
The Oilers compete in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference and play their home games at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The Oilers entered the 2026/27 season under a new head coach Mike Babcock. The team is off to a historic start with captain Connor McDavid in dominant form, reaching 30 assists in 15 games to break Wayne Gretzky's record of 16 games set in the 1984-85 season.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins made history on November 3, 2026, by surpassing Kevin Lowe's milestone of 1,037 appearances to become the Edmonton Oilers' all-time leader in games played.
