Stars reveal 2025-26 promotional schedule packed with giveaways and theme nights

The AHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars confirmed that this year's 36-game home slate will feature 14 theme nights, 14 giveaway items, and seven specialty jerseys.

Full, 24-game, and 12-game season tickets are already available, while single-game tickets go on sale September 2 at the H-E-B Center box office and through Ticketmaster. Fans can view the complete breakdown at TexasStars.com.

The season will include returning fan favorites such as H-E-B Nights, where fans can bring a non-perishable H-E-B item for a $5 discount on weekday games, and Pepsi Zero Sugar Family 4-Packs, offering tickets, hot dogs, and sodas starting at $20 per person for weekend games. Friday home games also bring back $3 draft beers courtesy of Brown Distributing.

Here are some of the biggest promotions fans can look forward to:
