The franchise's 2026‑27 campaign kicks off on Friday, October 2, when the Stars host the St. Louis Blues at American Airlines Center. The opening night marks the beginning of a schedule that blends divisional rivalries, conference matchups and a handful of marquee events.
A home‑heavy October
October will see the Stars play nine of their first ten games on home ice, including a six‑game stretch from October 20 through 31. The majority of those contests are slated for a 7 p.m. Central Time tip‑off, giving fans a consistent evening routine as the season unfolds.
The full home slate features 41 games at American Airlines Center, with 14 contests against Central Division opponents, 12 against Pacific Division teams and 16 against Eastern Conference foes. This balanced approach ensures a mix of familiar rivals and new challenges throughout the year.
Stadium Series showdown at AT&T Stadium
A highlight of the season will be the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series, where the Stars travel to Arlington to face the Vegas Golden Knights at AT&T Stadium on Saturday, February 20. The outdoor game is set for a 7 p.m. Central start and will be broadcast on ABC, offering a national audience a chance to see Dallas in a unique setting.
Tickets for that historic outdoor contest will be sold through SeatGeek on a first‑come, first‑served basis, while regular home‑game tickets will have presales for Victory Club members, app users and Dallas Stars Insiders before the general public release.
All‑Star break and January road trip
The NHL will pause for All‑Star Weekend from February 5‑7, holding the festivities at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Earlier in the season, Dallas will endure its longest road stretch, a five‑game swing from January 14‑20, testing the team's depth and resilience.
Additional notable dates include a Thanksgiving weekend matchup against Utah on November 28, a New Year's Eve showdown with the New York Rangers on December 31, and a series of weekend games that pepper the schedule with Friday, Saturday and Sunday night action.
Fans can secure tickets through the Dallas Stars app, now available for download on both the App Store and Google Play. Membership options such as Victory Club and Partial Plans are already on sale, and an interest form is provided for those seeking more details about future ticket opportunities.
