Season Preview: Crypto.com Arena previews 2026-27 events

Heading into its 27th year, Crypto.com Arena, one of the world’s busiest and most recognizable sports and live entertainment venues, has set the stage for an unforgettable season of celebrations.

“We have an exciting schedule of NBA and NHL games and I’m proud of the diverse lineup of concerts, family shows and other sporting events we’re hosting at Crypto.com Arena for the 2026-2027 season,” said Katie Pandolfo, general manager of Crypto.com Arena. “It’s unbelievable that we get to do this and bring these incredible live events to hundreds of thousands of fans each year.”

History in the Making

Earlier this fall, WNBA and LA Sparks icon Lisa Leslie was honored as the 16th person and first LA Sparks player to receive a statue in the arena’s coveted Star Plaza.

Coming off the heels of that legendary moment, the Los Angeles Kings will retire Anze Kopitar’s No. 11 jersey and unveil a bronze statue of the franchise’s all-time leading scorer on Feb. 24, 2027, ahead of the LA Kings home game against the Montreal Canadiens.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the LA Kings, the team debuted a permanent LA Kings Hall of Fame installation on opening day that recognizes the individual legacies and contributions of notable players, staff and broadcasters from throughout LA Kings history. The LA Kings Hall of Fame is located next to the Team LA Store on the main concourse and is accessible to all guests. It includes photo ops, a rotating roster of memorabilia and artifacts in partnership with HeritageWerks Inc. and the Hockey Hall of Fame.
