Flyers Arena Gets a New Name

Comcast Spectacor and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) have announced that home to the Flyers, 76ers, and top-tier global events—will be renamed Xfinity Mobile Arena. This change takes effect September 1, 2025, and will remain through the 2030-2031 season.

The venue itself is no stranger to change. Following a multi-year, $400 million renovation, the arena has been redesigned from top to bottom, reaffirming its status as a world-class venue for sports and entertainment. The partnership between Comcast and HBSE signals a commitment to innovation, improving fan experiences, and keeping the arena at the cutting edge of technology.


The arena currently known as Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia has undergone several name changes since its opening in 1996. Initially, it was called CoreStates Center (1996–1998), then became First Union Center (1998–2003), followed by Wachovia Center (2003–2010). In 2010, it was renamed Wells Fargo Center after Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia.

Now, as part of a new partnership, the arena will be renamed Xfinity Mobile Arena, effective September 1, 2025, with the name set to remain through the 2030-2031 season. This will run through the end of the arena's life as a new arena is expected to replace it at that time.


With the arena’s new name set, it’s clear that center ice is in for a refresh next season. Fans remain strongly in favor of the dual Flyers logo, and the tradition of the triple red stripe for the center line will likely return as well. That leaves just one big question—how will the new arena name be incorporated into the design?


Here is a concept which seems most likely.

We will be keeping an eye out for any clues that might suggest what direction they will be taking for the ice layout, but we will know for sure in September.
