Winter Classic Tickets on Sale for Avalanche vs. Mammoth Outdoor Showdown

Colorado Avalanche

Hockey enthusiasts are gearing up for one of the season’s most eagerly awaited events, as the Utah Mammoth and Colorado Avalanche prepare to clash in the great outdoors. The 2026 Discover NHL Winter Classic, set to take place at Rice-Eccles Stadium on the University of Utah campus, will officially open ticket sales on Tuesday, June 16. Fans can secure their spots for this highly anticipated showdown, scheduled for Thursday, December 31, starting at 10 a.m. MT.

Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster, the NHL’s official ticketing partner, on a first-come, first-served basis until supplies last. By purchasing through Ticketmaster, fans can ensure they receive the seats they select via Ticketmaster.com or the Ticketmaster app.

This New Year’s Eve game represents a historic milestone for the Mammoth franchise, marking their outdoor debut in just their third NHL season. It also highlights the league’s ongoing expansion of marquee outdoor events, bringing one of its newest teams to a prestigious stage.

The Avalanche, with prior experience in outdoor games, will look to improve their 1-2-0 record in such contests. Colorado’s outdoor journey began in 2016 during the Stadium Series at Coors Field, where they lost 5-3 to the Detroit Red Wings in front of over 50,000 fans. They faced another setback in 2020, falling 3-1 to the Los Angeles Kings at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs. However, the Avalanche secured their only outdoor victory in memorable fashion at the 2021 NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 amidst one of the most stunning backdrops in league history.

With the Mammoth making franchise history and the Avalanche seeking another signature outdoor win, the Winter Classic promises to be one of the NHL’s premier events, bringing excitement to Salt Lake City for the first time. Fans eager for updates on the Winter Classic or looking for historical information about NHL outdoor games can visit the league’s official resources as the event approaches.
