The Billings Cattle Punchers, a Tier II junior ice hockey team, are set to begin their 2026-27 season at Signal Peak Energy Arena.

Signal Peak Energy Arena Hosts Hockey

Signal Peak Energy Arena serves as the home venue for the Billings Cattle Punchers. This facility provides the infrastructure needed for the team's Tier II junior ice hockey schedule. The arena supports the start of the 2026-27 season and gives the team a dedicated local base for games.

Home Games Anchor Football and Baseball

The Billings Skyview Falcons open their 2026-27 football season with a home game against Helena on August 27 at 7:00 pm. The Billings Mustangs, a Pioneer League baseball team, open their 2025 season at home against the Missoula PaddleHeads. These home contests rely on existing local fields and stadiums that host the teams each year.

High School Programs Use Established Facilities

The Billings West Golden Bears compete as a powerhouse in Montana AA athletics with a history of state titles in football, basketball and wrestling. The Billings Senior High Broncs also compete in the Montana AA division with strong teams in football, basketball, volleyball, track and wrestling. Both schools draw on school and community facilities that have long supported their multi-sport programs.

The dates and home openers listed above come directly from team schedules. The Pioneer League baseball opener and the August 27 football start provide concrete markers for when these venues see increased activity. Signal Peak Energy Arena stands out as the one venue named for the upcoming hockey season.

Teams will continue to use these local facilities for regular season play. Fans can follow schedule updates through team and league channels to track when games return to the venues.
