The full project is expected to be completed in early 2026. Xfinity Live! will remain open throughout the duration of the work.

“Xfinity Live’s expanded plaza!” will serve as a hub for the sports complex,” said Erin Seifert, Director of Operations for Xfinity Live! “We look forward to welcoming more guests and fans than ever before.”

The expansion is only part of the expected changes to the sports complex. Earlier this year, Comcast-Spectacor unveiled an ambitious $2.5 billion plan to transform the neighborhood.

“The sports complex is a unique destination that is home to all of Philadelphia’s professional teams, and this is a natural next step in its evolution that will create more gathering spaces for visitors for a variety of events.” We are confident that this project will be a keystone of Philadelphia’s continued growth,” Laws added.

News of changes comes as Philadelphia City Council meets hearings on a proposed 76ers arena in downtown. The team said it does not plan to stay at the Wells Fargo Center — its current home — beyond 2031, when its lease expires.
