This is a list of seasons completed by the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League. This list documents the records and playoff results for all 26 seasons that the Calgary Flames have completed in the NHL since their relocation from Atlanta, Georgia in 1980. The Flames franchise was founded in 1972 as the Atlanta Flames, and played eight seasons before moving to the Canadian city of Calgary. The Flames remain the only NHL franchise to relocate from an American market to a Canadian one.

The Flames have captured one Stanley Cup, in 1988–89, and three Clarence S. Campbell Bowls as Campbell/Western Conference champions: 1985–86, 1988–89, and 2003–04. Calgary has finished atop their division six times in its history. The Flames have also won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's top regular season club twice: 1987–88 and 1988–89.

The Flames have qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs 18 times in 26 seasons in Calgary. Their all time playoff series record in the Stampede city is 15–17. The 2007–08 season represents the 27th in Calgary, and 35th for the Flames franchise, excluding the canceled 2004–05 season.
