The Phoenix Suns are teaming up with FanDuel to deliver a new premium experience for their most loyal fans. The two have partnered to create the FanDuel Lounge, a 6,000-square-foot members-only space inside the team’s arena that will officially open on October 14, just in time for the Suns’ first home preseason game.
Good to Know
The lounge occupies the footprint of the former FanDuel retail sportsbook, which closed in July 2025 after four years of operation. That sportsbook originally featured betting kiosks, windows, dozens of televisions, and a large bar. FanDuel and the Suns have now reimagined the area as a social hub for dedicated members instead of a wagering space.
The project was designed in partnership with Gensler, while Okland Construction handled the build. The redesign includes a full-service kitchen, grab-and-go food and beverage marketplace, and an open-air terrace overlooking downtown Phoenix.
Josh Bartelstein, CEO of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury, said the new addition is about rewarding the team’s most dedicated supporters:
“We are always looking for new ways to add value for our dedicated season ticket members. The FanDuel Lounge is another investment in our membership experience and provides a premium space for all members to enjoy together on gamedays.”
The lounge is open to PayPal SixthMan members and Suns season ticket holders starting this fall. Looking ahead, Phoenix Mercury PayPal X-Factor members will gain access beginning with the 2026 WNBA season, extending the experience across both franchises.
