Dallas Stars Host 2027 NHL Stadium Series at AT&T Stadium

The Dallas Stars will host the 2027 NHL Stadium Series game at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, on February 20, 2027, with the opponent yet to be announced. This event marks the second outdoor NHL game in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, following the 2020 Winter Classic at the Cotton Bowl, which set a high attendance record of over 85,000. NHL officials and team owners express confidence in filling the stadium, which has a seating capacity of 80,000 but can accommodate over 100,000 with standing room, potentially approaching the NHL's all-time attendance record. The game reflects the growing popularity of hockey in Texas and the collaborative efforts between the NHL, the Dallas Stars, and the Cowboys organization, especially Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who has long advocated for hosting NHL games at AT&T Stadium. The upcoming game continues the tradition of the NHL Stadium Series, an outdoor event held annually since 2014, with the next series game in 2026 taking place in Tampa Bay. The Stars and NHL leadership anticipate a passionate and enthusiastic fan turnout, reinforcing Dallas as a key market for outdoor NHL events.
