A legacy built on excellence

SM MOA Arena marks 13 years of game-changing fan experiences

For over a decade, the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena has stood as the Philippines’ premier venue for world-class entertainment, sports, and live events. As it celebrates its 13th anniversary this June, the iconic arena honors its storied past while forging a bold path forward.

Since opening in 2012, the SM MOA Arena has transformed live entertainment in the Philippines. Its striking “eye-conic” architecture, adaptable event bowl, and prime location have made it the top choice for international artists, major sports tournaments, and large-scale corporate and community gatherings. No wonder, its consistent excellence has earned it prestigious accolades, including Sports Venue of the Year (2023) and the Gold Award for Sport & Recreation Facility (2015).
