Frontwave Arena in Oceanside has packed its 2026 calendar with everything from USA Basketball World Cup Qualifiers to a brand-new professional BMX racing league.
Since opening in September 2024, the 7,500-seat venue has established itself as North County San Diego’s go-to spot for live sports and entertainment, and this year’s lineup keeps that momentum going strong.
USA Basketball, G League, and Indoor Soccer
Team USA takes the court for two FIBA World Cup Qualifier games, facing the Dominican Republic on February 26 and Mexico on March 1.
The San Diego Clippers are back for their second NBA G League season with 24 home games running through March 28, complete with themed giveaway nights.
The San Diego Sockers return for their 2026 MASL season with 12 home matches through March 29, bringing fast-paced indoor soccer from one of the league’s most successful franchises.
Wrestling, Futsal Exhibitions, and BMX Racing
All Elite Wrestling returns on February 21 for AEW Collision, delivering the high-energy atmosphere, diverse roster, and unpredictable storylines that put fans right in the middle of the action.
Icons vs Creators hits the arena on March 7, marking the first-ever premier futsal-style indoor soccer exhibition in the U.S. The event brings together legendary international soccer icons and top influencers for a crossover event that blends sport and pop culture.
The big debut happens this summer when Frontwave hosts the BMXGP1 League on June 21, a brand-new professional indoor BMX racing league. The 12-round season runs every Sunday through September 13 on a custom-built course where speed decides the winner, not judges or tricks.
Comedy and Music Headliners
Michael McIntyre brings his Hello America! tour to Frontwave on March 18, marking the UK comedy star’s first-ever U.S. tour. McIntyre has sold out arenas around the world, including record-breaking runs at London’s O2 Arena, and his sharp observational stand-up has racked up hundreds of millions of online views.
MercyMe’s Wonder + Awe Tour stops in Oceanside on April 16, with the 10x-Platinum band joined by Big Daddy Weave, Tim Timmons, and Sam Wesley for a high-energy night of music and community.
Summer Tuesday Series Returns
The Summer Tuesday Series transforms the arena into a midweek destination from June 16 through August 11. Select nights feature live World Cup matches broadcast on the arena videoboard, paired with themed activations like Taco Tuesdays.
Expect local food vendors, drink specials, DJs or live music, interactive games, and community partner pop-ups throughout the series.
