Chase Center

San Francisco, California

A Warriors night at Chase Center, on the San Francisco waterfront.

Plan my tripJust find a hotel

The local take

A waterfront arena in Mission Bay, wrapped by the Thrive City plaza of restaurants and taprooms, a half-mile walk along the bay from the Giants’ ballpark and a Muni ride from Union Square’s shops, theaters and cable cars.

On the Warriors’ 2026–27 home schedule, most weeknight games tip off at 7 p.m. and most weekend games at 5:30 p.m. Doors open 90 minutes before tip-off. Your game ticket is also your Muni fare for the whole day, until 2 a.m., so plan to ride rather than park.
