Notes
Confirmed as the Spurs' sole home arena for the entire 2025–26 season (it even hosted the 2026 NBA Finals). Formerly SBC Center (2002–2006) and AT&T Center (2006–2023); officially became Frost Bank Center September 22, 2023. Owned by Bexar County, operated by Spurs Sports & Entertainment. NEW ARENA: Voters approved public funding in November 2025 for a ~$1.3B downtown arena ("Project Marvel") near the Alamodome; Spurs committed $1B+, target opening ~2032 (working timeline cited 2029–2030). Current lease at Frost Bank Center runs through 2032. The Spurs no longer split "home" games to Austin or other venues — 2026 is fully at Frost Bank Center
