Alongside Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced Monday evening that the Dallas Stars will play at AT&T Stadium on Feb. 20, 2027, in another edition of the league’s Stadium Series.
It will be the second time that the NHL has come to the Metroplex for an outdoor game. The Dallas Stars hosted the Nashville Predators at the Cotton Bowl in 2020 and won 4-2 in the Winter Classic.
“Hosting the NHL’s 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,” Jones said in a statement.
“The game will be another proud moment for us, and being able to provide a world-class fan and team experience in partnership with two outstanding organizations, the NHL and the Stars, will be very special.”
There have been 16 Stadium Series games in the NHL since its inception in 2014. Tampa Bay is hosting the next Stadium Series game on Feb. 1, 2026, at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It will be the first hockey game played at AT&T Stadium since its opening in 2007. The all-time NHL attendance record for a single game is 105,491. Although the standing room and potential floor seats for the stadium can hold up to 105,000, the official capacity of the stadium is 80,000.
