NHL Announces Stars Will Host Outdoor Game at AT&T Stadium in 2027

The Dallas Stars will play the first NHL outdoor game at AT&T Stadium during the 2027 Stadium Series, with potential attendance exceeding 100,000 fans, league officials said.

  • The NHL announced that the Dallas Stars will host the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas on Feb. 20, 2027, with the game broadcast on ABC and the opponent announced later.
  • League and team officials said talks with the Cowboys continued for years, with Jerry Jones lobbying since AT&T Stadium opened in 2009 and Tom Gaglardi pushing for another outdoor game.
  • With seating and standing-room options, AT&T Stadium holds 80,000 but can expand to over 100,000, and its retractable roof aids the two-week rink build despite NFL playoffs constraints.
  • In response, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said the league is thrilled to bring the Stadium Series to AT&T Stadium, crediting Jerry Jones's long advocacy, while Brad Alberts, Stars President and CEO, called it "a really exciting opportunity" to showcase the franchise.
  • The move fits a league trend that includes Feb. 1, 2026 in Tampa when the NHL showcases non-traditional markets, and the Stars' Feb. 20, 2027 game opponent will be announced later.
