Tony Parker headlines NBA House PH as ArenaPlus joins festivities

MANILA, Philippines – Tony Parker has spent his career making big plays on the NBA’s biggest stages. This weekend, the four-time NBA champion will make a stop at the ArenaPlus booth as NBA House Philippines 2026 presented by Gatorade brings the league’s brand of basketball and entertainment to Manila.

Parker will headline NBA House Philippines at SPACE at One Ayala alongside basketball icons Jason Kidd and Lauren Jackson for the two-day immersive fan experience on Aug. 29 and 30.

As the NBA’s Official Betting Partner in the Philippines, ArenaPlus will conduct various basketball-themed activities during the weekend, giving fans an opportunity to test their basketball skills and knowledge. One of the highlights will be Parker’s visit to the ArenaPlus booth, where the former San Antonio Spurs star is expected to meet members of the ArenaPlus team and take on the basketball arcade and shooting challenge. As part of the programming, ArenaPlus will facilitate an on-court trivia contest, which will test participants’ knowledge around the game throughout the weekend. And there’s more than bragging rights at stake, as the on-court trivia winner for each day will get prizes from ArenaPlus.

For Ethan William, Head of ArenaPlus, having Parker visit the booth adds another layer to what promises to be a memorable weekend for Filipino basketball fans.

“ArenaPlus is proud to be part of NBA House Philippines and thrilled to give fans an experience that brings them closer to the game they love,” said William. “Having a legend like Tony Parker visit our activation makes it even more special. We’re excited to welcome fans, let them enjoy the activities we’ve prepared, and celebrate our partnership with the NBA together.”

Parker brings an impressive résumé to Manila. The French point guard won four NBA championships with the San Antonio Spurs and was named NBA Finals MVP in 2007. He was also inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023.

Beyond the NBA and WNBA legends, NBA House Philippines will feature a wide range of attractions across the two days, including an NBA memorabilia display featuring the Larry O’Brien Trophy, autographed jerseys and basketballs, basketball skills challenges, photo installations, merchandise giveaways, and a game zone featuring NBA 2K27. Fans can also watch regular-season WNBA games between the Washington Mystics and Los Angeles Sparks on Aug. 29 and the Toronto Tempo and Phoenix Mercury on Aug. 30.

For Filipino basketball fans, NBA House Philippines offers a rare opportunity to experience the NBA beyond the screen—and for those visiting the ArenaPlus booth, the chance to share the floor with an NBA legend in a different way.

NBA House Philippines follows previous editions of the immersive fan experience staged in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
