Uber Arena

1

Uber Arena (previously branded as O2 World and Mercedes-Benz Arena) is a multipurpose indoor arena in the Friedrichshain neighborhood of Berlin, Germany, which opened in 2008. The venue became known as Uber Arena following a long-term deal with venue operators AEG Europe in 2024. With a maximum capacity of 17,000 people (for concerts or MMA), it is home to the Eisbären Berlin ice hockey club and the Alba Berlin basketball team, and is used for other athletic and civic events, as well as concerts. The arena hosted the 2008–09 Euroleague Final Four, the European professional basketball club competition. The arena was one of the most prominent elements of the Mediaspree urban redevelopment project, quickly gaining emblematic status in the debates surrounding the project's impact. The arena hosted the 2022 Premier League Darts final on 13 June 2022.

Naming rights

In 2015, German car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz reached a deal with the arena management to rename the venue Mercedes-Benz Arena Berlin for twenty years. Between 2008 and 2015, the arena was known as O2 World Berlin due to sponsorship contract with Telefónica Germany, a telecommunications company. In March 2024, the arena became known as the Uber Arena, following a long-term deal with venue operators AEG Europe. The adjacent venue rebranded from the Verti Music Hall to the Uber Eats Music Hall, and the entertainment quarter rebranded from Mercedes Platz to Uber Platz.
