Budvar Arena, Indoor ice rink in České Budějovice, Czech Republic

Budvar Arena is an indoor ice rink in České Budějovice with two separate ice surfaces designed for both competitive and recreational skating. The facility operates year-round and accommodates different types of ice hockey and skating activities simultaneously.

The facility opened in 1946 as the third ice stadium built in Czechoslovakia and has operated continuously since then. This long history makes it one of the oldest ice rinks in the region still in regular use.

The arena is named after the Budějovický Budvar brewery, the national enterprise that has sponsored Czech hockey and gave the stadium its name after the 2002 reopening. It hosted a preliminary group of the 1966 men's volleyball world championship, a group and the relegation round of the 2005 under-18 ice hockey world championship, and the 2025 women's ice hockey world championship between 9 and 20 April.

The arena has two halls: the main hall for A-team matches and training, and a training hall used mainly by youth teams. The ice surface measures 58 by 28 metres, which does not meet the IIHF standard. Capacity is 6,421 spectators, of whom 5,870 are seated and 551 standing.

The complex features two ice surfaces of different sizes, which allows professional matches and recreational skating to happen at the same time. This dual setup distinguishes it from many other ice rinks across Europe.
