The National League of ice hockey in Switzerland is one of the most thrilling and widely watched hockey leagues in Europe! Experience the excitement live at the newly built Swiss Life Arena in Zurich, which opened its doors in October 2022 with a game from the legendary ZSC Lions. Whether you're a lifelong hockey enthusiast or have never seen a single match, we want you to join us for an unforgettable live game! Everyone with a valid Legi (Student ID, not ESN card) is welcome!
Meet us at 18:30 in the south of the arena, near the train tracks, right underneath the big lion sign (the logo of the ZSC Lions on the facade of the arena). The Swiss Life Arena is easily accessible by public transport—you can take the train, bus, or tram to Altstetten station and enjoy a short 10-minute walk to the arena. The puck drops at 19:45, and the game will run until around 22:00.
We'll be standing with the passionate fans in the standing section, which means no seats—but that's where the energy is highest! To show your team spirit and really blend in with the fans, wear blue and white, the team colours of the ZSC Lions. While we’ll be inside, it can still be cool near the ice, so dress warmly, but make sure you’re ready to cheer loud and proud for the team.
About the ZSC Lions: As the pride of Zurich, the ZSC Lions are one of the top teams in Swiss hockey and the reigning Swiss champions. Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned fan, this is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in Zurich's vibrant culture. Join the passionate fanbase in the standing section and feel the energy of the city as we cheer on the Lions!
Don’t worry about missing out on refreshments—there will be plenty of food and drink options inside the arena. The Foodboxen in the arena offer a variety of snacks, from Pommes and pizza to burgers, and Swiss classics. Payment is cashless throughout the arena, so be sure to have your cards or mobile payment ready. 
Please note: Bags or backpacks larger than A4 size, outside food and drinks, and large cameras are not allowed inside the arena. Lockers are available for CHF 5.
Get ready for an adrenaline-packed match as we cheer on the ZSC Lions as they face off against their fierce rivals, SC Bern! Don’t miss this chance to experience one of the most intense atmospheres in European sports—let’s make some noise in blue and white!
