Dallas Stars To Host Vegas Golden Knights in 2027 Stadium Series At AT&T Stadium

The NHL is bringing another outdoor spectacle to Texas in 2027, as the Dallas Stars are set to face the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stadium Series. The two clubs, who meet Thursday in a regular-season matchup, are scheduled to meet again outdoors on February 20, 2027 at AT&T Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas.

This will mark the second outdoor game hosted in Texas, following the Stars’ previous appearance against the Nashville Predators in the 2015 Winter Classic at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas. That game drew fans from across the state and set a high standard for outdoor hockey in Texas.

The Stars and Predators battled in front of more than 85,000 spectators in frigid January temperatures, creating a memorable experience that combined the excitement of the NHL with the festive atmosphere of a massive outdoor event. The success of that game demonstrated the strong support for hockey in Texas and helped pave the way for future outdoor games in the state.
