Stars Release Preseason Schedule: Two Home Games Highlight September Slate

Denison, Texas — Camp opens Wednesday, September 17 at Comerica Center in Frisco, with the full practice calendar to follow. Before main camp, the organization sends prospects to Detroit for a September 12-15 tournament at the Belfor complex inside Little Caesars Arena, joining Columbus, Detroit, and Pittsburgh.

Denison residents have about an hour's drive south on US-75 to reach American Airlines Center for the two preseason home games.

The Dallas Stars released their 2026 preseason plan on Monday, lining up four exhibition contests before the regular season opens. The club starts on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, September 19 at Enterprise Center, with two of the four games set for American Airlines Center in Dallas.

The exhibitions mark the first game action since a six-game, first-round playoff loss to Minnesota ended the 2025-26 campaign. Dallas had advanced to the league's final four in the Western Conference three years running before that early exit.

St. Louis comes to American Airlines Center on Monday, September 21 for a 7 p.m. CT faceoff. Minnesota visits two days later, on Wednesday, September 23, also at 7 p.m. The exhibition slate wraps up Friday, September 25 in Minnesota at Grand Casino Arena.

Single-game tickets for the regular-season home schedule will become available to the public down the road. The team is offering early purchasing windows to Victory Club members, app subscribers, and registered insiders ahead of that general release.
