Honda Center Undergoes $1B Private Renovation

The Honda Center in Anaheim, home of the NHL’s Ducks and owned by the city, is undergoing a $1 billion privately funded renovation led by the Samueli Family and OC Sports & Entertainment, with completion expected by 2027. The project, Honda Center Encore, will modernize nearly every aspect of the 31-year-old arena, including a five-story south entrance with a large digital display for watch parties, ten new food and beverage concepts with self-service technology, and upgraded luxury suites and premium clubs. Parking will increase by nearly 60% with three new garages, and guest flow will be improved with new escalators and four new entry plazas. The venue will remain operational throughout the phased renovation, which aligns with construction of the $4 billion OC Vibe mixed-use district. This represents one of the largest private investments in a publicly owned arena and reflects the Samueli Family’s long-term commitment to Anaheim and Orange County as a global entertainment center. The Honda Center will also host events during the 2028 L.A. Summer Olympics.
