Team changes


Spartak Moscow returned to the league prior to this season.[3][4] It was also announced by KHL President Dmitry Chernyshenko that Atlant Moscow Oblast would not participate in the league this season due to financial problems.[5]



Divisions and regular season format


In this season, each team played every other team once at home and once on the road, giving a total of 54 games (27 at home, 27 on the road), plus 6 additional games (3 at home, 3 on the road) played by each team against rival clubs from its own conference. Thus, each team played a total of 60 games in the regular season.[6]


How the teams are divided into divisions and conferences is shown in the table below.[2][7]
