On Thursday, the Dallas Stars officially began turning the page toward the 2026-27 season, announcing their full regular season schedule and a handful of marquee matchups along the way.

It will be a historic season across the league, as this year marks the first time in NHL history that teams will play an 84-game regular season slate. The Stars will open their campaign on October 2nd against divisional rival the St. Louis Blues.

Among the season's biggest highlights, Dallas will take part in the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series at AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, when the Stars face the Vegas Golden Knights outdoors on Saturday, February 20th.
