Anaheim’s Honda Center Unveils Massive Upgrades for 2026-27 Season

The arena’s ongoing evolution, known as Honda Center Encore, introduces the Splitero Club on the Columbia Bank Club Level. This premium space offers private booths, loge seating, and a full-service bar, marking the first time in the venue’s history that fans can view concerts from within a club setting. Beyond premium seating, guests will find renovated restrooms, a relocated First Aid station operated with UCI Health, and a five-story south entrance currently under construction.

Culinary offerings have also undergone a significant refresh under Executive Chef Cesar Regalado. The updated menu features creative additions like the Schiacciata Sweet Sandwich, Chicken Tender Tacos, and the Griddle Double Stacker. The beverage program is expanding as well, with new self-serving beer stands such as the Blue Moon Draft Picks and the upcoming Modelo Puck Draft Picks, alongside themed cocktails at the Tito’s Handmade Vodka bar.

These upgrades serve as a precursor to the early 2027 launch of OCVIBE. The 100-acre district will eventually feature a 5,000-capacity concert hall, the Katella Commons market hall, and The Weave, a mass-timber office building. As construction progresses, Honda Center continues to host a busy calendar, including the World's Collide Concert Tour and a high-profile December matchup between UCLA and Gonzaga, effectively positioning the venue as the anchor for a new year-round destination in Orange County.
