‹ The template Infobox venue is being considered for merging. ›

Xebio Arena Sendai (ゼビオアリーナ仙台) is an arena located in the city of Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.[1] It serves as the home arena for the Sendai 89ers of the B.League, Japan's professional basketball league.

Key Information

Since July 2025, Xebio Arena Sendai is housing a permanent skating rink. Xebio Arena Sendai is the second facility in Japan, after Flat Hachinohe, that can be used as both and ice rink and an arena for matches and concerts thanks to special insulation and wooden floors that can be laid on top of the ice.[2][3]

History

[edit]

In November 2023, it was announced that the arena would undergo renovation in 2024, including the construction of an ice rink that meets international standards, with a length of 60 meters and a width of 30 meters. The project, presented by the mayor, received support from Yuzuru Hanyu, a two-time Olympic champion.

On July 5th, 2025, the renovated Xebio Arena Sendai opened.[4] Sendai City, in partnership with major sports retailer Xebio Holdings, established this year-round ice rink to provide better training facilities for skaters.[5] The new ice rink is the only one in Miyagi prefecture that meets international standards and can host official figure skating competitions.[6]

The opening ceremony was held on July 5th, 2025. The ice show "The First Skate," featuring professional figure skaters Yuzuru Hanyu, Akiko Suzuki, Rika Hongo, and Takeshi Honda, took place on the inaugural day.[7] The sold-out ice show drew widespread attention, receiving more than 30,000 applications [8] for 3,378 available seats and attracting coverage from 39 media outlets.[9]
