Founded in 1967 as part of the NHL’s first major expansion, the Flyers quickly established themselves as one of the toughest and most intimidating teams.¹ The team won back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975, becoming the first expansion franchise to capture the prestigious Cup.¹

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the Flyers were known for their physical style of play and consistent playoff appearances.¹ The Flyers continued to achieve success during the mid-1990s on the heels of signing star center Eric Lindros.¹ Over the decades, the franchise has reached multiple Stanley Cup Finals and maintained a strong presence among the NHL’s historic clubs.

The Philadelphia Flyers play at the Xfinity Mobile Arena (formerly known as the Wells Fargo Center), which opened in 1996.² The arena seats more than 19,000 fans for hockey games and serves as a central venue within the city’s sports complex.²

The venue also hosts additional events such as corporate meetings and other larger events, such as the 2000 NCAA Women’s Final Four and the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball East Regional Tournament.² Its modern layout and strong sightlines contribute to an energized home atmosphere, particularly during divisional matchups and rivalry games.
