City of Gastronomy

Game day in Kelowna is full of energy, whether you’re bundled up in the stands at a high-stakes hockey game or soaking up the summer sun at the ballpark. Our local teams bring fans together in every season, offering a mix of fast-paced action, community spirit, and unforgettable moments.

See the Kelowna Rockets light up the ice at Prospera Place, or head to Elks Stadium to watch the Kelowna Falcons battle it out in the West Coast League. Football fans can cheer on the Okanagan Sun at the Apple Bowl, while lacrosse, junior hockey, university athletics, and even roller derby offer plenty of ways to support local athletes.

With venues spread throughout the city—many just steps from downtown restaurants, breweries, and the lakefront—it’s easy to turn a game into a full day or night out.

Explore the teams and venues listed below to plan your next live sports experience in Kelowna.
