Xiaomi Arena, formerly known as Arena Riga (Latvian: Xiaomi Arēna) is an indoor arena in Riga, Latvia. It is primarily used for ice hockey, basketball and concerts. Arena Riga holds a maximum of 14,500 and was opened on 15 February 2006.
It was built to be used as one of the venues for the 2006 IIHF World Championship, the other being Skonto Arena. The arena was designed by the Canadian company Stadium Consultants International (SCI Architects) and Latvian firms SIA Merks and SIA Nams.
In 2025, as part of a partnership agreement between Arena Riga's management and Chinese electronics company Xiaomi, the arena was rebranded as the Xiaomi Arena as part of a naming rights deal.
The owner of the arena is the company Glesum Investments, but the real beneficiary is businessman Juris Savickis.
