The Seattle Kraken will host the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic at T-Mobile Park on Jan. 1, 2024, against the Vegas Golden Knights. 

The first NHL outdoor game in Seattle will pit the two most recent NHL additions against each other at the home of Major League Baseball’s Seattle Mariners. T-Mobile Park will be the 14th venue and eighth baseball stadium to host the NHL’s premier regular-season event since it started in 2008.

The Kraken are in their second season since joining the NHL as its 32nd team for the 2021-22 season. The Golden Knights are in their sixth season, having joined the League for 2017-18.

The Kraken will become the 29th NHL team to participate in a regular-season outdoor game and the first Pacific Division team to host the Winter Classic, which has never been played west of the Central time zone. It will be the second for the Golden Knights, who played the Colorado Avalanche in the 2021 NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe on Feb. 20, 2021.
