NHL Stadium Series 2024

The 2024 Stadium Series will feature two outdoor regular-season contests during the 2023–24 season, breaking away from its conventional single-game format.

Taking place on February 17–18, 2024, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the event will showcase the Philadelphia Flyers against the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers facing off against the New York Islanders.

The decision to switch to a two-game format was announced on June 3, 2023. It's important to note that, in order to maintain Madison Square Garden's tax-exempt status, the Rangers, among the three New York metropolitan area teams, will play as the 'visiting' team.

MetLife Stadium is currently undergoing renovations in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will include the removal of some lower-level sideline seats.
