UBS Arena Events

The handsome UBS Arena opened its doors in 2021 as the new home of the NHL’s New York Islanders. Located on Long Island (hence the name “Islanders”) at the outermost city limits of the Big Apple, UBS Arena has already garnered the nickname of “The Stables” due to its proximity to the famed horse racing grounds of Belmont Park. Along with all regular season and playoff Islanders home games, UBS Arena frequently hosts concerts, professional wrestling, and other sporting competitions. Hungry visitors to UBS Arena will find plenty of savory options such as grilled cheese, hot dogs, and Slapshot Shareable Nachos, and the facility also provides options for those with vegetarian, kosher, and gluten-free requirements. The venue’s many shops and kiosks carry a broad range of team and event merchandise.
