Crypto.com Arena

===2021–present===
On November 16, 2021, it was announced that Crypto.com had secured the new naming rights for the next 20 years (which was worth $700 million), making it the first name change in the venue's history. It has been criticized by many for deviating from the "landmark" status that the former name has evoked. 
On December 6, 2021, the outer Staples Center signage was taken down, effectively marking the beginning of the transition. Later on December 20, the new Crypto.com Arena banner was put up outside, in addition to updating the inside branding, as well as the standalone pylon sign outside. The last event as Staples Center was an NBA game of the Los Angeles Lakers against the San Antonio Spurs on December 23.
The new name officially took effect with that year's NBA Christmas game (Lakers vs. the Brooklyn Nets) on December 25. Phase 1 of the venue's ongoing renovation process was completed during the summer of 2022, when new, proper outer signage was put up.
