NEW YORK – The National Hockey League announced today that the Vegas Golden Knights will be the Dallas Stars’ opponent in the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series™. In November, it was announced that the Stars would host the outdoor game at AT&T Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, on Saturday, February 20. The 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series will begin at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT and be broadcast on ABC.
This will mark the third all-time outdoor-game appearance for the 2023 Stanley Cup-champion Golden Knights, who are 0-2-0 in previous outdoor action. That included a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche Feb. 20, 2021 at NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe and a 3-0 defeat to the Seattle Kraken in the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic in Seattle.
The 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series is the second time the Stars and the state of Texas will serve as hosts of an NHL outdoor game. The Stars defeated the Nashville Predators 4-2 before a sold-out crowd of 85,630 at the Cotton Bowl in the 2020 NHL Winter Classic.
