Which Philadelphia arena hosted the 2019 Overwatch League Grand Finals?

Which Philadelphia arena hosted the 2019 Overwatch League Grand Finals? The answer is the Wells Fargo Center. The championship match was played there in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 29, 2019.

The final brought together the Vancouver Titans and the San Francisco Shock, who had reached the championship match through the Overwatch League’s postseason bracket. San Francisco won the series 4–0, securing its first Overwatch League championship, while Choi “ChoiHyoBin” Hyo-bin was named Grand Finals MVP.

The venue was selected as part of the league’s effort to present its championship as a major live sporting event. The Wells Fargo Center is a large multi-purpose arena in South Philadelphia and is home to teams including the Philadelphia Flyers and Philadelphia 76ers.

A common mix-up is the Philadelphia Fusion, the city’s Overwatch League team at the time. The Fusion played their home matches at the same arena, but they were not the 2019 finalists. Other listed arenas, such as Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center, hosted unrelated events.
