BLOOMINGTON- The Bloomington Bison announced today their full 72-game schedule for the 2024–25 campaign, which will be their inaugural season in the ECHL. The Bison will be in the league's Central division. 

The Bison will open their first season at home on Saturday, Oct. 19 against their Central division opponent the Toledo Walleye. The regular season will close on Sunday, April 13, 2025 after their final regular season game visiting the Kalamazoo Wings. Bloomington will play 36 home games at Grossinger Motors Arena and visit opponents in eleven cities during their 36 games on the road.

The Bison will play 20 of their first 36 games at home before the All-Star break. Following the All-Star break, Bloomington will play 20 games on the road including three straight weekends on the road beginning January 25 through February 14.

Fifty-five of Bloomington’s 72 games will be played against Central division rivals.
