Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment announced plans for an updated premium, event-level hospitality space set to open at Barclays Center at the start of the Brooklyn Nets 2026–27 season. The club renovation kicks off phase three of Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment’s ongoing, multi-year $140 million investment to reimagine and modernize the arena.

Building on the recently unveiled transformation of the arena’s West End, the updated club will enhance Barclays Center’s premium offerings by delivering an experience that connects fans more closely to the game, the players and Brooklyn’s culture. Spanning more than 9,000 square feet and accommodating 360 members, the space features exposed steel trusses and brick with impressive finishes and sophisticated design.

“At Barclays Center, we continue to invest in spaces that reflect Brooklyn’s identity while redefining what premium fan experiences can be,” states Shanon Ferguson, Chief Hospitality Officer, Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment in a release. “As part of the third phase of our $140 million transformation, this space will bring fans closer to the action than ever before – through its design, its culinary program and its unparalleled proximity to the game.”

A defining feature of the club is its premium culinary experience, highlighted by interactive show kitchens – the only club in the arena where guests can watch their meals prepared in real time. The club will offer a diverse selection of food stations, including carving stations, sushi, kosher offerings and elevated takes on classic arena favorites. A dedicated pizza oven will serve hot, freshly made pizza, celebrating Brooklyn’s signature staple.

Beyond dining, the club stretches the line between the fans and team. Members will enjoy views of the Brooklyn Nets players as they enter and exit the locker room area on their way to the court, as well as access to the practice court.

A 94-foot LED board, stretching the full length of the club, will immerse guests in live game action and arena atmosphere without requiring them to leave the space. Additional premium amenities will include a dedicated coat check, private gender-neutral restrooms, and social areas. Renovation work for this project will be led by architects at Populous and construction management by Shawmut Design and Construction.
