Last updated: October 2026
The Los Angeles Kings don't run a stand-alone internship program: their owner, AEG, hires Kings interns through its year-round, 12-week internship programs. On 17 October 2026 AEG's Greenhouse job board listed 157 jobs, seven of them Kings postings, and none was an internship. The only internship on the whole board was a Chicago touring role for AEG's Latin music business, not the Kings. Here's the plain-words version: the next open door is a spring or summer 2027 Kings requisition, AEG publishes no opening date, and closed requisitions disappear from its board, so the only reliable plan is to check the board every week. This page tells you what to prepare in the meantime.
Quick Facts
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Where to apply | AEG's job search (internship filter), which links to the Greenhouse board aegworldwide. Kings postings are titled "LA Kings - ...". Check weekly; the Kings' roles also appear on TeamWork Online |
| Application window (2027–28) | Not published. AEG offers "year-round, 12-week internship programs". The next Kings internship is most likely a spring or summer 2027 requisition; no opening or closing date is published on AEG's pages |
| Rolling? | Unknown. Closed requisitions come off AEG's board, so past open and close dates can't be read from AEG itself. Treat any Kings internship as a requisition that can close without notice |
| Eligibility | AEG describes these as programs for students. Requirements are per requisition and weren't readable for the Kings because none is open. GPA and work authorization: not stated on AEG's pages |
| Duration | 12 weeks per cohort (AEG's careers page) |
| Compensation | AEG says interns are paid. The rate is listed on each requisition; no Kings internship rate is published while none is open, so no figure is used here |
| Return offers | Conversion rate not published |
| Locations | El Segundo, CA, on-site (every Kings posting on AEG's board). Home games are at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles |
| # Programs | One AEG program with team-specific requisitions. Kings internships reported last cycle by job boards that copy AEG's postings covered marketing, data engineering and IT |
No Kings internship was open on 17 October 2026. AEG, the Kings' owner, posts them on its own board, publishes no opening date, and describes its internships as year-round and 12 weeks long.
The Kings' internships have recurred in marketing, data and IT, so project proof matters. Externships are short, remote programs where you complete a real project for a real company, most commonly over 8 weeks. The Beats by Dre Creative Advertising Strategy Externship fits sports and fan marketing, and the Breaking Games E-Commerce Data Analysis & Strategy fits ticketing and business data work.

What Is a Los Angeles Kings Internship?
A Los Angeles Kings internship is a student role with the NHL club's business operation in El Segundo, California. The Kings are owned by AEG (Anschutz Entertainment Group), and AEG's own careers page says it offers students "year-round, 12-week internship programs" in which interns are paid. Kings requisitions are posted on AEG's Greenhouse board with an "LA Kings" label, so you apply to AEG, not to a separate Kings site. The seven Kings postings live on 17 October 2026 were full-time jobs (group sales, graphic design, HR, marketing, video, ticket operations); none was an internship. AEG also owns the Ontario Reign and the LA Galaxy, and their postings share the same board and aren't Kings programs. This is the NHL club, not the Sacramento Kings or the Kings League.
When Do Los Angeles Kings Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
AEG doesn't publish when Kings internship requisitions open, and closed requisitions disappear from its Greenhouse board (the board's API returns 404 for them), so we can't recover last cycle's open and close dates from AEG itself. What AEG does say is that its internship programs run year-round and last 12 weeks. That means Kings cohorts can start in more than one season, and an off-cycle requisition can appear in any month (AEG's one internship on 17 October was posted on 30 September). We give no opening date for summer 2027; the plan is to check the board weekly and apply when a Kings requisition appears.
No Kings internship is open. AEG's board has 157 jobs, seven of them Kings postings, and one internship (a Chicago touring role). Set up a weekly check of AEG's internship filter.
Prepare a résumé and a short project for the roles that recur: marketing analysis, SQL or Python data work and IT support. Read how AEG describes its programs: paid, 12 weeks, mentor-supported.
A spring or summer 2027 Kings requisition is the likely next door. AEG publishes no opening date, so apply the day you see one on the board; a requisition can come down without warning.
Apply through the Greenhouse form. AEG doesn't publish an interview process or a lead time between posting and start.
A summer cohort would run 12 weeks, in person in El Segundo. Whether the Kings offer one is decided requisition by requisition.
How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.
Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open
There is no published window, which is the risk. A Kings internship has no calendar you can plan around, so the safe assumption is that a requisition can open and close inside a few weeks. Closed requisitions vanish from AEG's board, which means you can't check last year's pattern either. Apply the first week you see a Kings internship, with your résumé and project already prepared, and keep checking after you apply in case a second cohort posts.
Which Los Angeles Kings Internship Programs Should You Target?
AEG runs one internship program and the Kings are one of its teams. These are the Kings-related facts we could confirm from AEG's own pages on 17 October 2026.
| Program | Focus | Duration | Key skills |
|---|---|---|---|
| AEG internship program (Kings requisitions) | Paid, mentor-supported projects; Kings requisitions are labeled "LA Kings" | 12 weeks, year-round cohorts | Per requisition |
| Marketing (reported last cycle by job boards) | Digital platform audits across NHL teams and game-day planning, as copied from AEG's postings | 12 weeks | Microsoft Office, Adobe, social platforms (third-party summary) |
| Data engineering and IT (reported last cycle by job boards) | ETL, pipelines and IT support, as copied from AEG's postings | 12 weeks | SQL, Python (third-party summary) |
| Live Kings postings, 17 Oct 2026 (not internships) | Group Sales, Graphic Design, HR, Marketing Campaign Manager, Video Editor, Ticket Operations | Full-time | Shows the Kings' departments |
Find every role through AEG's careers page. Ontario Reign and LA Galaxy postings on the same board aren't Kings programs.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
AEG's own pages say less than a requisition would, and no Kings internship is open to quote. What we can say:
• Students: AEG's careers page describes its internship programs as for students.
• Requirements are per requisition. AEG's current internship posting (a Chicago touring role at its CMN music business) asks for a student currently pursuing a degree in a related field, Excel, Word and PowerPoint, and strong organization. Treat that as AEG's house style, not the Kings' list.
• Location: El Segundo, CA, in person.
• GPA, work authorization and academic credit: not stated on AEG's pages.
Do You Need Sports Experience?
AEG's pages don't ask for it. The Reddit thread below suggests marketing, ticket sales and internships are the usual way in, and one commenter said a Kings data internship application was met with a grad-school expectation. Read the requisition itself; it's the only source of record for a given cohort.
What Skills Do the Los Angeles Kings Look For, and How Do You Build Them?
No Kings internship is open, and AEG's closed requisitions can't be read, so we can't compute skill frequencies from Kings internship postings. What we can see: the seven live Kings jobs sit in group sales, design, HR, marketing, video and ticket operations, and job boards that copy AEG's postings describe last cycle's Kings internships in marketing, data engineering and IT, naming Microsoft Office, Adobe, SQL and Python. Treat those as direction and re-check against the first real requisition.
Note: No skill-frequency chart for this page. AEG's closed internship requisitions return 404 on its job board and no Kings internship is open, so there are no first-party Kings internship postings to count. Skills above come from third-party copies of last cycle's postings and aren't counted.

What Is the Los Angeles Kings Application and Interview Process Like?
AEG doesn't publish an interview process for Kings internships. This is the path from its own pages:
1. Watch AEG's board. Use the internship filter on AEG's job search and check weekly. Kings roles are labeled "LA Kings".
2. Apply through the Greenhouse form attached to the requisition.
3. Interview. Not published.
4. Offer and start. AEG describes 12-week, paid programs with mentors. Start dates are set per requisition.
AEG doesn't publish a class size or conversion rate for Kings interns.
What Students on Reddit Say
Only one Kings thread was first-hand enough to use: a September 2025 r/losangeleskings post from a graduating senior asking how to get in. The three points below all come from it.
Commenters who work in or near sports said most people start in marketing, and one added that marketing often means sales. Another said nearly every new graduate at their club came up through internships, marketing jobs or ticket sales.
Several warned that the industry runs on connections, pays little at entry level, and takes time. One advised building a resume with other teams or lower leagues first, such as the ECHL or AHL, before aiming at the Kings.
One commenter said AEG is always hiring, which they put down to turnover, and that the offseason is the best time to look. A student said a Kings data internship application was met with a grad-school expectation. Both are single opinions.
How Do You Stand Out for a Kings Internship?
Three moves. First, apply to AEG, not to the Kings: the requisition lives on AEG's board, and AEG's pages say its programs are paid and last 12 weeks, so show you can commit to the full length. Second, build proof for the roles that recur, which job boards copying AEG's postings place in marketing, data engineering and IT: a campaign audit, a SQL or Python project, a support project. Third, be flexible about team. A Reddit commenter's advice, echoed by others, was to build experience with other teams or lower leagues first. AEG doesn't publish an applicant count or a conversion rate, so treat the internship as the goal and ask about full-time paths once you're in.

FAQ
Can I still apply for a summer 2026 LA Kings internship?
No. The summer 2026 cohort is over, and no Kings internship was open on 17 October 2026. AEG's only internship on its board was a Chicago touring role for its music business. The next door is a spring or summer 2027 Kings requisition, with no opening date published.
Who hires LA Kings interns?
AEG, the Kings' owner, through its internship program, which its careers page describes as year-round and 12 weeks long. Kings requisitions are posted on AEG's Greenhouse board with an "LA Kings" label, so you apply to AEG rather than to a separate Kings program.
Are any LA Kings internships open right now?
No. On 17 October 2026 AEG's board listed 157 jobs, including seven Kings postings in group sales, graphic design, HR, marketing, video and ticket operations. None was an internship, and the only internship on the board was in Chicago for AEG's Latin music business.
When do LA Kings internships post?
AEG doesn't publish dates, and closed requisitions disappear from its board, so we can't read last cycle's window. Because AEG says its programs run year-round, a Kings requisition can appear in any month. Check AEG's internship filter weekly and apply in the first week you see one.
Are LA Kings internships paid?
AEG's careers page says its interns are paid to work on challenging projects. The rate appears on each requisition, and none is open for the Kings, so we don't give a figure. Don't rely on pay numbers from job-board copies; confirm the rate on AEG's own posting.
Where are LA Kings internships based?
El Segundo, California, in person. Every Kings posting on AEG's board lists El Segundo, and home games are at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Check each requisition for hours and game-night expectations, which AEG's pages don't state for Kings interns.
Is an LA Kings internship the same as a Sacramento Kings internship?
No. The Los Angeles Kings are an NHL team owned by AEG. The Sacramento Kings are an NBA team with their own postings; see our Sacramento Kings internship guide. The Kings League is a separate soccer competition with its own teams and has no connection to the NHL club or to AEG.
Do LA Kings interns get full-time offers?
AEG doesn't publish a conversion rate or class size for Kings interns. A Reddit commenter said AEG is always hiring, which they attributed to turnover, but that's one opinion. Treat the internship as your foot in the door and watch AEG's board for entry-level openings.
No Kings internship is open today, and AEG publishes no opening date. Check its board weekly, and if you want a finished project to show, a remote Externship takes about 5 to 10 hours a week.
