Tim McGraw
Tim McGraw is set to perform at the 2026 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series outdoor game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Boston Bruins on Feb. 1.
The marquee event will be played at Raymond James Stadium, home of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, marking the first time in League history that an outdoor game will be played in a football stadium in the state of Florida. Live coverage begins at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN in the U.S., and on Sportsnet and TVA Sports in Canada as well as via NHL in ASL (ESPN+ in the U.S. and Sportsnet+ in Canada). McGraw will lead the first intermission presented by Ticketmaster performance.
For the NHL Stadium Series, the NHL will build the regulation-size rink inside a steel-framed, air-conditioned structure to protect it from the elements. Spanning 34 feet high, 125 feet wide and 240 feet long, the state-of-the-art tent will be dismantled before the teams face off outdoors in primetime in Florida. McGraw will perform on a stage alongside the rink. A limited number of tickets to the game are still available via Ticketmaster, with more info available at NHL.com/events.
