The Phoenix Suns and FanDuel have joined forces on a new lounge for PayPal SixthMan season ticket members during home games at PHX Arena this 2025-26 season.
Set to open in October, FanDuel Lounge will have a full-service kitchen with food and beverages unique to the club and a marketplace with prepackaged snacks and drinks.
“We are always looking for new ways to add value for our dedicated season ticket members,” said Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein in a news release. “The FanDuel Lounge is another investment in our membership experience and provides a premium space for all members to enjoy together on gamedays.”
Spanning 6,000 square feet with an outdoor terrace, the lounge will be accessible to season ticket holders before the arena opens for games.
It’s located in the former FanDuel Sportsbook space on the first floor of PHX Arena. It’ll be open for the Phoenix’s only home preseason game Oct. 14 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The sportsbook ceased operation last month.
Gensler designed the lounge in partnership with FanDuel’s design and construction team. Okland Construction led the project’s construction.
OVG Hospitality will oversee the food and beverage operations of the lounge.
The Suns have four preseason games. They face the Lakers on Oct. 3 in Palm Desert, Calif., two in China against the Brooklyn Nets on Oct. 10 and 12, and the final one at home Oct. 14 against the Lakers.
Phoenix opens the 2025-26 regular season Oct. 22 against the Sacramento Kings at PHX Arena.
The lounge will be open to Phoenix Mercury PayPal X-Factor Members next WNBA season in 2026.
