The 2023 Heritage Classic between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames will take place Oct. 29 at Commonwealth Stadium, the teams announced Saturday.

The event was previously reported earlier in December, but a date was never confirmed.

The Battle of Alberta has reignited in recent years, but this will mark the first time the two provincial rivals play each other outdoors.

It'll also mark the 20th anniversary of the inaugural Heritage Classic, which was played between the Oilers and Montreal Canadiens in front of 57,167 fans at Commonwealth Stadium - the home of the CFL's Edmonton Elks.
