The Omaha Mavericks 2023-24 schedule has been announced. The 23-24 slate is highlighted by a Big 10 non-conference matchup at Baxter Arena with Ohio State, the Arizona State hosted Desert Hockey Classic and a rematch of last season's season debut matchup against the Niagara Purple Eagles.

Omaha and reigning CCHA Tournament Champion Minnesota State will battle for the Pride of the Maverick once again in an exhibition contest on October 7 to soft launch the year in Mankato, Minnesota. The Mavericks will officially open their upcoming campaign the same way they did last season, against the Niagara Purple Eagles in a home series at Baxter Arena.

Omaha will faceoff against their first regular season Big 10 opponent since they played Wisconsin back in November of 2019. The Mavericks will welcome Ohio State to Baxter Arena October 27-28. The last time Omaha and Ohio State met was in October of 2019 in a road series that saw both teams take a game off each other.

The Mavericks will have two more opportunities to play in front of the passionate Omaha fan base before jumping on the road for their first away series of the season. The Mavericks open up NCHC play against Western Michigan on November 3-4 before being reintroduced to the Sharks of Long Island University to close out a season-opening four series home stand.

The first regular season road matchup will be against the Denver Pioneers on November 17-18. Omaha will then return home for a home-and-home series with NCAA Hockey newcomer, Augustana. The first game will be played in Omaha on November 24 with the series finale being played the following night at the Denny Sanford Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Mavericks will remain on the road for one more weekend meeting the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs on the first two days of December. Omaha will close out the first half at home against the defending Frozen Faceoff champion St. Cloud State on December 8-9.

The Mavericks will open up the second second half of the season at the Desert Hockey Classic, January 5-6. It will be Omaha's first regular season tournament action since winning the Brice Alaska Goal Rush championship in October of 2016. The Arizona State hosted tournament will also feature Harvard and UMass Lowell.
