The Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic™ will be returning to Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium, home of the CFL's Edmonton Elks, marking the 20-year anniversary of hosting the first-ever NHL regular-season outdoor game: the 2003 NHL Heritage Classic, a 4-3 win for the Montreal Canadiens over the Oilers in front of 57,167 fans on Nov. 22, 2003. Including that game, there have been 37 regular-season outdoor games played to date, attended by 1,851,642 fans (an average of 52,904 per game when fans could attend; 35 of 37 games played).

The Flames-Oilers outdoor matchup will mark the seventh NHL Heritage Classic™, which includes the inaugural game in Edmonton (2003), as well as games in Calgary (2011), Vancouver (2014), Winnipeg (2016), Regina (2019) and Hamilton (2022). It will be the 38th regular-season outdoor contest, and first of four such games scheduled for the 2023-24 NHL season, which includes the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic® (Jan. 1, Vegas at Seattle) and 2024 Navy Federal Credit Union Stadium Series™ (Feb. 17, Philadelphia at New Jersey; Feb. 18, NY Rangers at NY Islanders). A complete history of NHL regular-season outdoor games can be found here.

The Flames and Oilers organizations have faced off in 263 regular-season games since the 1979-80 season, with the Flames holding a 33-point edge over the Oilers (CGY/AFM: 131-107-25-287; EDM: 113-122-28-254). The Oilers have won five of six Stanley Cup® Playoffs series over the Flames, including the most recent "Battle of Alberta," which took place during the Second Round of the 2022 Stanley Cup® Playoffs.
