Xfinity Mobile Arena

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A 76ers or Flyers night at Xfinity Mobile Arena, at the end of the Broad Street Line.

Plan my tripJust find a hotel

The local take

An arena at the southwest corner of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, which it shares with Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field, with Stateside Live! by the subway, cheesesteak corners on Passyunk Avenue and the Liberty Bell a train ride north.

Most 76ers tip-offs and Flyers puck drops at home are at 7 or 7:30 p.m., mostly on weeknights, with some weekend afternoon games. The arena posts door times on each event’s page rather than one standard time. The arena is cashless and has no re-entry, and the Broad Street Line runs from Center City to NRG Station, the stop for the arena.

HotelSuggested

South Philadelphia / Sports Complex · 0.73 mi from the arena

A casino hotel in South Philadelphia’s Stadium District that the arena lists under accommodations. The arena’s guest services page and the hotel’s own page both put the arena about a 10-minute walk away; the hotel’s page still calls it Wells Fargo Center.

There’s no train, rideshare or parking to plan on a game night: the arena and the hotel put the walk at about 10 minutes, and hotel guests park free. Geno’s says it’s open 24/7, so it still works after a late finish.

  • Free self-parking for guests

Keep in mind: It’s a casino hotel: the gaming floor is 21+, and the hotel has no pool.
