Buffalo, New York, and Cleveland will be the U.S. host venues for the 2025 Rivalry Series event between the U.S. and Canadian women’s hockey teams.

The four-game series staged in November and December serves as a lead up to the 2026 Olympic Winter Games for the two teams. Rocket Arena in Cleveland will host the opening game on November 6 while the KeyBank Center in Buffalo will be the site for game two on November 8.
