The first Motorpoint Elite League games of the 2026/27 season take place on Sunday, with Glasgow Clan hosting Sheffield Steelers and Coventry Blaze travelling to Dundee Stars.
After three games in the Challenge Cup, all four teams involved now have their first chance to put league points on the board.
Glasgow host Sheffield at 16:00 in the first Motorpoint Elite League game of the season. Clan went into the weekend with three points from their opening two Challenge Cup games, having beaten Fife in a shootout before taking a point from a penalty-shots defeat to Belfast. On Saturday, they faced Fife again and were beaten 4-3 in overtime in Kirkcaldy.
Sheffield began the season with six Challenge Cup points from six after a 6-0 win over Coventry and a comeback shootout victory in Guildford. They hosted Nottingham on Saturday night and took another two points with a 3-2 OT win, Ryan Tait scoring the winner with 37 seconds remaining.
Dundee and Coventry meet at 17:00, with both sides also making their first Motorpoint Elite League appearance of the season.
The Stars entered the weekend looking for their first win after losing both of their opening Challenge Cup games 4-1 at home. Their first road game of the season came in Belfast on Saturday, where they were beaten 8-1 by the Giants, keeping them searching for their first points of the season.
Coventry split their opening weekend, responding to a 6-0 defeat in Sheffield by beating Cardiff 3-2 at the Skydome. They were back at home against Manchester on Saturday night but were beaten 5-3, with Storm picking up their first win of the season.
