NEW YORK (May 29, 2024) – The National Hockey League announced today that tickets to the Discover NHL Winter Classic® will go on sale to the public Friday, June 14 at 10 a.m. CT. The outdoor game between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks is set for Tuesday, December 31, 2024 at Wrigley Field, returning to the iconic home of the Chicago Cubs for the first time since the 2009 NHL Winter Classic. The Discover NHL Winter Classic will be broadcast exclusively on TNT and MAX in the U.S. and on Sportsnet and TVA Sports in Canada (5 p.m. ET/4 p.m. CT).

Tickets will be available for purchase via Ticketmaster, the official ticketing partner of the NHL, on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

The upcoming Discover NHL Winter Classic will mark the seventh outdoor game and fifth NHL Winter Classic appearance for the Blackhawks, and the third NHL Winter Classic and outdoor game appearance for the Blues. The game is a rematch of the 2017 NHL Winter Classic played at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, a 4-1 Blues win.

About Wrigley Field:

Built in 1914, Wrigley Field is the second-oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball and the oldest in the National League. The ballpark was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2020 by the U.S. Department of the Interior and is famous for its ivy-covered, brick outfield wall, hand-operated scoreboard, bleachers and iconic Marquee at Clark and Addison streets. The historic ballpark was named Wrigley Field in 1926 in honor of William Wrigley Jr., the club’s then owner and has been home to the Chicago Cubs since 1916. Wrigley Field and its surrounding area were recently upgraded through the 1060 Project, a $1 billion restoration and expansion initiative by the Ricketts family.
