About the Building
Adjacent to the L.A. Live, the Crypto.com Arena is located adjacent to the Los Angeles Convention Center complex along Figueroa Street.
The arena is home to the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL), the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). The Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League (AFL) and the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA D-League were also tenants; the Avengers folded in 2009 and the D-Fenders moved to the Lakers’ practice facility at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, California for the 2011-12 season. The Crypto.com Arena also hosts more than 250 events and nearly 4 million guests each year.
It is the only NBA arena shared by two teams, as well as one of only three professional sports venues in North America to host two teams from the same league; MetLife Stadium, home of the National Football League‘s New York Giants and New York Jets, is one; SoFi Stadium, home of the National Football League‘s Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams, is another.
The Crypto.com Arena is also the home of the Grammy Awards.
The Crypto.com Arena will host the basketball competition during the 2028 Summer Olympics.
