What's worth seeing in Ottawa this weekend
Hockey seats swing hard by opponent — the Senators at Canadian Tire Centre price midweek non-rivalry games far below weekend and Original-Six matchups, so a flexible date is the surest path under $50.
Canadian football offers strong value — the Redblacks at TD Place Stadium price general-admission and end-zone seats low outside the rivalry and playoff dates.

Ottawa sports market at a glance
Ottawa carries 2 pro teams across NHL and CFL, putting about 50 home dates on the annual calendar. The overlap between seasons — especially when NHL and CFL run concurrently — splits local demand and can push prices down on the less-hyped matchups.
Canadian Tire Centre holds 18,652, keeping supply tight for Senators home games. Smaller buildings amplify demand on marquee nights, so timing and flexibility matter more when hunting for affordable seats.
Game-day guide: Ottawa venues
Canadian Tire Centre — Senators (NHL)
Canadian Tire Centre (18,652 seats) is a large indoor arena in Kanata that hosts Senators (NHL) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. Extensive on-site surface lots ring the arena off the Queensway (Highway 417) and Palladium Drive, with paid event parking on game nights. OC Transpo runs game-day express bus service to the arena from park-and-ride lots; limited regular transit otherwise in suburban Kanata.
TD Place Stadium — Redblacks (CFL)
TD Place Stadium (24,000 seats) is a large indoor arena in The Glebe (Lansdowne Park) that hosts Redblacks (CFL) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. Lansdowne Park's underground garage plus Glebe neighbourhood permit lots serve the venue, with pre-booking and shuttle/park-and-ride encouraged on event days. OC Transpo runs frequent and game-day express bus service to Lansdowne along the Bank Street corridor.

Sports in Ottawa this weekend
An Ottawa sports weekend usually starts Friday around 5 p.m. when downtown empties and the fan crowd heads for the rink. Friday nights anchor on either a Senators home game (Canadian Tire Centre, 7 p.m. puck drop) or a Redblacks summer kickoff at TD Place (typically 7:30 p.m. on the CFL schedule), with the late-night spillover heading to Clarence Street, Dalhousie, and the ByWard core.
Saturdays in summer belong to TD Place — Redblacks football and Atlético Ottawa soccer run their biggest dates Saturday afternoon through evening — while winter Saturdays push fans indoors to the Canadian Tire Centre for Senators hockey or to Lansdowne for 67's major-junior action and PWHL Ottawa games, with pre-game drinks along Bank Street. Sundays lean toward matinees and family-shaped game days: 67's afternoon puck drops at TD Place, Sunday Senators dates, and varsity football or basketball at Carleton and uOttawa when the U Sports calendar lines up.
Lansdowne's TD Place neighbourhood does double duty on game days, with the Bank Street strip from Holmwood to Glebe Avenue effectively becoming a pre-game and post-game patio crawl six hours a side. This page surfaces the full Friday-to-Sunday slate — hockey, football, soccer, basketball, and varsity sports — sorted by start time.
What's on by month
September
September is the great crossover month on Ottawa's sports calendar. The Senators' NHL pre-season opens at the Canadian Tire Centre late in the month, the 67's begin their OHL season at TD Place arena, and PWHL Ottawa's training and pre-season activity gets underway — so winter hockey returns just as the summer game peaks.
The Redblacks' CFL season heads into its final stretch with playoff implications on every home Friday night at the Lansdowne stadium, and Atlético Ottawa's Canadian Premier League season nears its close. Varsity sport ramps up too: Carleton Ravens and uOttawa Gee-Gees football opens, including the buildup to the crosstown Panda Game played at TD Place.
With four or five franchises overlapping, September has the busiest and most varied live-sports schedule of the year — football, soccer, hockey, and varsity all on the board.
October
October opens the Senators' NHL regular season at the Canadian Tire Centre — the home opener typically runs the first or second week of the month with premium ticket pricing and a charged building. The 67's are into their OHL season at TD Place arena and PWHL Ottawa's winter schedule gets going at the same Lansdowne building, so the city's hockey calendar is fully back.
The Redblacks' CFL regular season wraps through October with playoff implications on the final home Fridays, the last open-air football before the playoffs. Carleton and uOttawa varsity sports run heavy through the month, headlined by the crosstown Panda Game at TD Place — historically one of the largest U Sports football crowds in the country and the marquee varsity date of the fall.
October is the month every sport is live at once, with the football season ending just as winter hockey begins.
