As always, fans can go down on the ice, meet the players, skate with the team or get autographs free of charge. Skating is not a requirement to access the ice during the postgame skate, but fans can rent skates or bring their own pair if they wish to participate. 

The North Division’s Worcester Railers travel to the BOK Center for the first time since the Oilers’ Mountain-Division claiming 2018-19 campaign. The Oilers and Railers commence the three-in-three set on Black Friday, Nov. 27 and close the series with a 3:05 p.m. start on Sunday, Nov. 29. Friday and Saturday both begin at 7:05 p.m. and all three games are at the BOK Center. Worcester is the first Eastern Conference and non-division opponent on the 2026-27 schedule and the first Eastern Conference opponent to play a three-game series in Tulsa since the Oilers joined the ECHL 13 seasons ago.

WesBanco Arena serves as the venue for both meetings, with both scheduled at 6:10 p.m. CT.

The longest rivalry in Tulsa Oilers history, the 14-game season series is the 35^th consecutive between the two teams, dating back to the Oilers’ 1992-93 rebirth. 

Allen served as the Oilers’ most played adversary for the past three seasons, but will play Tulsa nine times this season, matching the series lengths of fellow division foes Idaho and Tahoe. The defending Mountain Division and Brabham Cup champion Kansas City Mavericks squeak in with the second-most games this year with 10. Rapid City and New Mexico round out the Mountain Division, with the Oilers facing both teams six times — thrice at home and thrice away.
