2025 NHL Winter Classic

The 2025 NHL Winter Classic is an upcoming outdoor regular season National Hockey League (NHL) game, part of the Winter Classic series. Originally scheduled for January 1, 2025, the game is scheduled to be played on December 31, 2024, with the Chicago Blackhawks hosting the St. Louis Blues at Wrigley Field in Chicago.

Background
The league announced the game on February 7, 2024, during the first intermission of the NHL on TNT's broadcast of the Tampa Bay Lightning–New York Rangers game. Several media sources however leaked the game's site and opponents on the day before.

This would be a rematch of the 2017 NHL Winter Classic, when the St. Louis Blues defeated the Chicago Blackhawks, 4−1, at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. This would also be Wrigley Field's second time hosting an NHL outdoor game, having previously hosted the 2009 NHL Winter Classic.
