AT&T Stadium preps to host the 2027 NHL Stadium Series. The big showdown is scheduled for February 20, 2027, at 7 p.m. CT, with the Stars' opposition to be announced down the line; fans will no doubt mark their calendars for this prime-time ABC broadcast, according to a statement from the National Hockey League.
"Hosting the NHL Stadium Series with the Dallas Stars is another great example of the vision we’ve always had for what AT&T Stadium could be beyond football," Jerry Jones, the entrepreneurial mind behind the Dallas Cowboys as Owner, President, and General Manager, announced with unmistakable pride. His words echoed the sentiment that, with events as colossal as the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series, AT&T Stadium stands not just as a monument to gridiron glory, but also as an axis where worlds of sports and spectacle confluence. The Stars' Owner and Governor, Tom Gaglardi, shared in the jubilation, reminiscing over the 2020 NHL Winter Classic, which drew legions and looked ahead to the "same enthusiasm and passion from our fanbase." Gaglardi's statement was also gleaned from the City of Arlington's official news post.
It's not the first rodeo for the Stars when it comes to outdoor hockey—they've danced this dance before, toppling the Nashville Predators 4-2 in the 2020 NHL Winter Classic before an 85,630-strong crowd. Details on the 2027 event, like how fans can snag tickets, are still forthcoming, with those craving updates encouraged to stay tuned on the NHL website.
AT&T Stadium, nestled in Arlington, Texas, is no stranger to the spotlight, boasting a history spotted with events ranging from Super Bowl XLV to the 2014 NCAA Men’s Division I Final Four; it's a legacy cemented in versatility and grandeur, from football championships to the thunderous cheers of WrestleMania, and now, before the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series rolls into town, it'll welcome the world stage once more as a proud host for nine FIFA World Cup matches in the summer of 2026 hosting everything from group stage bouts to a white-knuckle semi-final, as detailed in the historical recap on the City of Arlington's announcement.
