Contents

While there are 30 NBA teams, there are only 29 full-time arenas, as both Los Angeles teams, the Clippers and the Lakers, currently share Crypto.com Arena. However, the Clippers plan to open a new arena in Inglewood in 2024. The United Center has the highest capacity of any current NBA arena at 20,917. Madison Square Garden is the only current arena not to be named after a corporate sponsor.
