COLUMBUS, Ohio–The 2025 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series will take place beginning Friday and then running over the weekend with games involving the Detroit Red Wings, the Edmonton Oilers,  the Boston Bruins, the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the hometown Columbus Blue Jackets.

The series is unique because the games are being played outdoors, in this case Ohio Stadium, the homefield of the Ohio State University football team. In an Ohio State—Michigan battle on the ice, the Red Wings will play the Blue Jackets. 

The games will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu.

According to the NHL, the Stadium Series will also utilize state-of-the-art technology, including aerial coverage, Skycam, on-ice skatecam and virtual graphics, while a unique “Best Seat in the House” location is being created at ice level near the glass, where rotating special guests will join throughout each day’s telecast.
