The Dallas Mavericks have reached a preliminary deal on a potential arena site that would relocate the franchise outside downtown Dallas for the first time in its history in 2031.
The Mavericks previously spent 21 years at Reunion Arena before moving to American Airlines Center, their current home. A move in 2031 would mark another major venue shift for the organization and would come one year after the franchise celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Potential Move Marks Major Venue Change
The preliminary agreement centers on an arena site away from downtown Dallas, signaling a possible long-term change in where the Mavericks play their home games. No additional details about the proposed site, development timeline or final approval process were included.
The Mavericks’ history has been closely tied to downtown Dallas venues, first at Reunion Arena and then at American Airlines Center. If completed, the relocation would represent the club’s first move away from downtown beginning in 2031.
