NHL 26 opens CHEL week

NHL 26 opens CHEL week

Dateline: 9/8/2025

NHL 26 has kicked-off its first-ever CHEL week ahead of the game's launch on September 12th.

From EA Sports:

CHEL week opens with the theme ‘Cult Superstars’, inviting players to unlock a roster of cult icons on top of free items, daily content drops, limited-time arcade events and more. Cult Superstars shines a spotlight on fan-favorite players who aren’t at the top of yearly MVP voting, but rather are worshiped by hockey lovers for their passion on the ice.

Highlights of CHEL Week Include:

  • Unlockable cult superstars: Tom Wilson, Nazem Kadri, Jacob Trouba, Jacob Slavin, Tie Domi, Georges Laraque, Kevin Weekes and more.
  • A special Spotlight Player: playoff warrior Sam Bennett, rewarding his heroic play with dedicated HUT Moments.
  • A fan vote on Friday, with the winning player receiving a +1 OVR boost.
  • Daily rewards and fresh content updates to keep HUT energized throughout the week.
