NHL All-Star Weekend 2027 moves to UBS Arena with a new five-team 3-on-3 format featuring Canada, Finland, Sweden, the United States, and a World team.
The event was delayed from 2026 due to Milan Olympics and will now occur between the Olympics and the 2028 World Cup in late January/early February 2027.
The weekend marks UBS Arena’s fifth season and a celebration of its campus, with organizers calling the event a tentpole for Long Island.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman supported the new format as fun and entertaining, emphasizing fan engagement.
Islander fans may see 18-year-old prospect Matthew Schaefer in the Skills events, following his Calder Trophy-winning season.
The Skills Competition will feature up to six events for 10 young players (25 or younger).
Islanders President Kelly Cheeseman highlighted the revamped format as a dynamic showcase for the league and Islanders’ home.
The All-Star Weekend is set to occur Feb. 5–6, 2027, at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
The 2027 All-Star Weekend will occur between the 2026 Olympics and the 2028 World Cup of Hockey.
The World team will be composed of players from outside the four countries represented by Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the United States.
NHL and NHLPA will determine the eight events selected for the weekend's format.
