Dallas Stars Will Host 2027 NHL Stadium Series Game at Cowboys' AT&T Stadium

The Dallas Stars are set to host the 2027 NHL Stadium Series game at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, the league announced Monday.

According to ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, the game will take place on Feb. 20, 2027. The opponent that the Stars will face in the upcoming contest is currently unknown.

"The National Hockey League is thrilled to bring the spectacle of an NHL Stadium Series game to Arlington and one of the world's most spectacular sports settings, AT&T Stadium," NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said, per Nicholas J. Cotsonika of NHL.com. "Ever since its opening in 2009, Jerry Jones has been advocating for an outdoor game at this amazing venue."

"And we are delighted to partner with the Cowboys and Stars -- two franchises dedicated to the fans of North Texas -- and to create another unique fan experience for a market that has long been a hockey success story and welcomed us so enthusiastically when the 2020 NHL Winter Classic was played at the Cotton Bowl," he added.

The Stars traditionally hold their home games at the American Airlines Center, which they share with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. The American Airlines Center has a capacity of 18,532 for NHL contests.

Meanwhile, AT&T Stadium has a capacity of over 80,000 (h/t Wyshynski).

The Stars are familiar with playing in larger venues, as they previously faced off against the Nashville Predators at Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas for the 2020 Winter Classic. 85,630 fans were in attendance for the matchup.

This season, the Stars sit at 6-3-3 through 12 games as they attempt to clinch their fifth consecutive Stanley Cup playoff berth.
