The doubleheader will be the 40th and 41st NHL regular-season outdoor games. The Flyers have played in five regular-season outdoor games (1-3-1), the Rangers have played in four (4-0-0), and both the Devils (0-1-0) and Islanders (0-1-0) have played in one such game. All four teams are longtime division rivals, including periods in the Patrick Division (1982-1993), Atlantic Division (1993-2013) and Metropolitan Division (2013-Present).
This is the first time that New Jersey is hosting the event and the first NHL Stadium Series to feature games on consecutive days. The New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority will provide operational support to the MetLife Sports Complex, which has hosted the first outdoor, cold-weather Super Bowl XLVIII, WrestleMania 29 and 35, the Copa America Centenario Final and 2021 Army-Navy Game. MetLife Stadium will serve as an official match venue and New York/New Jersey an official Host City for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
