New Southern California Sports Complex Named Ontario Sports Empire

The City of Ontario in California has announced that its new multi-use sports complex, managed by the Sports Facilities Companies, will be named the Ontario Sports Empire.

Set to open in fall 2026, the complex will host major regional and national tournaments. The 190-acre facility will include 20 long fields, 14 youth diamond fields, eight full-size diamonds, four football/rugby fields and two championship baseball fields.

“This venue will position Ontario as a must-visit city for major sporting events,” said Michael Krouse, president and chief executive officer of GOCAL Greater Ontario and the GOCVB. “It’s an exciting development that will put Ontario on the national stage, driving significant growth in both sports tourism and local economic impact.”

The venue will be located 10 minutes from Ontario International Airport in an area with 6,000 hotel rooms and numerous entertainment options, offering players and fans everything they need.

“This complex is not just another sports facility; it’s a national destination for elite competitions and youth development. It will also be home for the community to host events and celebrations,” said Jim Arnold, SFC partner and national director of business development. “We’re excited to work alongside city leaders and industry experts to create a venue that will elevate Ontario’s profile on the sports tourism map and serve the community for years to come.”
