Pechanga Arena San Diego To Keep Name Through 2026

SAN DIEGO, CA — Pechanga Arena San Diego will stay Pechanga Arena San Diego through 2026.

The entertainment and sports venue announced Wednesday that it will retain its name, following an extension of the naming rights agreement between the arena and Pechanga Resort Casino, located near Temecula.

The partnership, which began in late 2018, marks Pechanga Resort Casino as the longest-serving naming rights partner in the venue's history. Since then, the two organizations have teamed up for a variety of community initiatives, including food and toy drives and Red Cross blood drives.

"We're proud to say that, with this extension, Pechanga Resort Casino becomes the venue's longest-serving naming rights partner," said Ryan Golden, general manager of Pechanga Arena San Diego. "These agreements provide more than just branding and exposure for our partners. They represent true partnerships built on mutual support and a shared commitment to community and excellence."

Originally known as San Diego Sports Arena, Pechanga Arena opened in 1966 and has a seating capacity of 14,000. The venue hosts concerts, family shows and sporting events, and serves as the home arena for the San Diego Gulls and San Diego Seals.
