Fall Classic Schedule Set

Sioux Falls, SD – The Sioux Falls Stampede will kick off their 2025–26 regular season at the United States Hockey League (USHL) Fall Classic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The event is a staple on the USHL calendar and provides a preview of the talent across the league.

The Herd will begin their campaign with two interconference matchups at the Fall Classic. On Thursday, September 18th, the Stampede will face off against the Chicago Steel at 1:30 p.m. CT. The next day, Friday, September 19th, the Stampede will take on the Green Bay Gamblers, also at 1:30 p.m. CT. These back-to-back games will help set the tone for Sioux Falls' season.

The Herd will meet these two teams again later in the season. The Stampede will meet the Chicago Steel again just a month after the Fall Classic, traveling to Geneva, I.L, for back-to-back games on November 21st and 22nd. Sioux Falls will then host the Green Bay Gamblers at home on February 5th and 7th. 

The Stampede has a strong track record at the Fall Classic in recent years. Last year, the team earned a remarkable weekend sweep, demonstrating their early-season prowess. They decisively defeated the USA Hockey NTDP U18s with a 6–3 victory. This was followed by a thrilling 4–3 comeback overtime win against the Muskegon Lumberjacks, highlighting the team's resilience and determination.

Looking back, Sioux Falls has consistently performed well at the Fall Classic. Beyond last year's sweep, the team secured three points to start the 2023–24 season, indicating a pattern of strong starts. Before that, the Stampede consistently recorded splits in four consecutive Fall Classics.

Fans will be able to watch both USHL Fall Classic games on FloHockey with a paid subscription. 

Following their participation in the Fall Classic, the Herd will embark on another road trip, visiting the Lincoln Stars in Nebraska for their first away game of the regular season. The group will then open their 2025-26 home schedule on Saturday, October 4th, marking the true beginning of the regular season at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center.
