Naming history
-
Staples Center
1999-10–2021-12
Original 20-year naming deal with the office-supplies retailer. Hosted the venue's most iconic moments — Lakers championships, Kobe Bryant's career, etc. — under this name.
-
Crypto.com Arena
2021-12–present
Cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com signed a 20-year, ~$700M deal — the most expensive naming rights in sports. Notably, the deal closed before the November 2022 FTX collapse exposed crypto-sector fragility; Crypto.com survived.
Renovations
-
2024–2026Multi-year renovation reportedly $1B+ in scope — new premium tiers, scoreboard, and concourse rework. Driven by Lakers becoming the sole NBA tenant after Clippers departed for Intuit Dome.
