Washington Capitals Tickets  

Seating Guide, Game Day Experience & More    

The Washington Capitals are one of the NHL's most electrifying and accomplished franchises. Founded in 1974, the team steadily grew in popularity and competitiveness before reaching elite status in the early 2000s. With the arrival of superstars like Alex Ovechkin—one of the greatest goal-scorers in NHL history—the Capitals became a perennial powerhouse known for their high-scoring offense, tight defensive structure, and incredible leadership both on and off the ice. 

The pinnacle of Capitals history came in 2018, when the team captured its first-ever Stanley Cup Championship, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights in a thrilling series. This long-awaited victory solidified the Caps as one of the league's top franchises and united Washington, D.C. in celebration. 

Today, the Capitals remain a must-watch team thanks to their combination of veteran leadership, emerging young talent, and a commitment to fast, physical, and exciting hockey. Their fan base—known for its passion and loyalty—creates one of the best atmospheres in the NHL. 

The Capitals play their home games at Capital One Arena, located in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C. Surrounded by restaurants, entertainment, and transportation, the arena offers exceptional convenience and an ultra-energetic atmosphere. Whether you are a die-hard Caps fan or visiting for the first time, attending a Capitals game is a truly unforgettable experience filled with energy, excitement, and tradition (including the iconic "Rock the Red" crowd).
