On September 2, 2025, the Xfinity Mobile Arena, previously known as the Wells Fargo Center, officially unveiled its new signage in South Philadelphia.
The ceremony marked the transition to its new name, effective September 1, 2025, under a naming rights deal with Comcast Spectacor and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE) that runs through the 2030-31 season. The event featured Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty, Sixers mascot Franklin, the Flyers Ice Team, and the 76ers Drum Line.

Additional celebrations included a live broadcast of WMMR’s Preston and Steve on September 3 and an event with former Eagles players Nick Foles and Fletcher Cox on September 4.
