How this page works

Each Division I program is listed at its home arena for the 2026–27 season, under its 2026–27 conference. No two Division I programs share an arena, so there are 365 arenas. Seven of them are also home to a pro team, like Madison Square Garden (St. John’s and the Knicks).

Capacity is the basketball seating figure the school publishes; opening year is when the current building opened. Ties go to the arena listed first. See the biggest, oldest and newest college arenas for full rankings.
