Description
Available in:

Veikkaus Arena (formerly Hartwall Arena and Helsinki Halli) is a large multi-functional indoor arena located in Helsinki, Finland that is the home of Jokerit. It was opened in April 1997 and the arena is convertible for various events. The total seated capacity during ice hockey games is 13,349 (about 14,000 for basketball, for concerts up to 15,000) and as an amphitheatre, it is significantly reduced to between 3,000 and 5,000.

Formerly under Russian ownership, it was closed in 2022 and left unused for over three years due to EU sanctions related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The main sponsor, Hartwall, also ended its sponsorship and the arena's name was changed. In February 2025, the sale of the facility to new owners was concluded, with the arena scheduled to re-open in April or May. In July 2025, the arena's new sponsor name was announced as Veikkaus Arena.
