Schedule and results

Rebrand

During the 2024 offseason, the Los Angeles Kings underwent a major rebrand. After promoting their new logo on June 20, the Kings released their new logo and jerseys on June 26.[2] [3] The new logo was heavily influenced by the Wayne Gretzky era branding, but the logo was modernized from purple and yellow to "enhanced silver" under the new theme: "Legacy Moves Us Forward." The jerseys were unveiled that same day with the silver font on the home jersey replaced by white and the away jersey's color font was updated to black.[4]

Preseason

The preseason schedule was published on June 21, 2024.[5] Due to ongoing renovations at Crypto.com Arena, the Kings will not play preseason home games at the arena.|- style="background:#;"| 1 || September 23 || Los Angeles || || Utah || || || Delta Center || || || |- style="background:#;"| 2 || September 25 || Los Angeles || || Vegas || || || T-Mobile Arena || || || |- style="background:#;" | 3 || September 28 || Anaheim || || Los Angeles || || || Toyota Arena || || |||- style="background:#;"| 4 || September 30 || Los Angeles || || Anaheim || || || Honda Center || || || |- style="background:#;"| 5 || October 3 || Boston || || Los Angeles || || || Videotron Centre || || |||- style="background:#;"| 6 || October 5 || Florida || || Los Angeles || || || Videotron Centre || || |||-|- | Legend:
