The story of the Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings are an American professional basketball team based in Sacramento, California. The Kings compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. The Kings are the oldest team in the NBA, and the first team in the major professional North American sports leagues located in Sacramento. The team plays its home games at Golden 1 Center.

The franchise began with the Rochester Seagrams (a semi-professional team) from Rochester, New York, that formed in 1923 and hosted a number of teams there over the next 20 years. They joined the National Basketball League in 1945 as the renamed Rochester Royals, winning that league's championship in their first season, 1945–46. In 1948 they jumped with three other NBL teams to the Basketball Association of America, that later merged with the NBL to form the NBA. As the Royals, the team was often successful on the court, winning the NBA championship in 1951. The team, however, found it increasingly difficult to turn a profit in the comparatively small market of Rochester and relocated to Cincinnati in 1957, becoming the Cincinnati Royals.

Before the 1972–73 season, the team relocated again, this time to Kansas City, Missouri, and renamed the Kansas City–Omaha Kings because it initially split its home games between Kansas City and Omaha, Nebraska; the nickname was changed to avoid confusion with the baseball team dubbed the Kansas City Royals. After three seasons, the team truncated to Kansas City Kings, but continued to play several home games per season in Omaha, through March 1978.

The Kings’ franchise history passes through several cities before its Sacramento era. In California’s capital, the team has developed a strong local following. The early-2000s teams are remembered for passing and offensive flow, making them useful reference points for fans interested in movement-based basketball.

Reading the Kings’ championship totals

Rochester won the 1946 NBL championship and the 1951 NBA championship. Those honors came in different leagues: adding them together does not give an NBA-title total. The 1951 Royals beat New York in seven games, decades before the franchise arrived in Sacramento.

Sacramento’s first season was 1985–86. Its 2001–02 team went a league-best 61–21 before losing the Western Conference finals to the Lakers in seven games. A record covering the entire franchise and one limited to the Sacramento era therefore answer different questions.

ARCO Arena was not just one building

Sacramento’s first three seasons were played at ARCO Arena I, the temporary home used from 1985–86 through 1987–88. ARCO Arena II opened for the Kings on November 8, 1988, against Seattle. The second building later carried the Sleep Train Arena name. When an archive says “ARCO,” its date helps identify which building it means.

Golden 1 Center brought the team downtown for the 2016–17 season. Its address is 500 David J Stern Walk. An old ARCO or Sleep Train reference is therefore not a set of directions to today’s home games.

Before going to Golden 1 Center

The arena’s official FAQ lists doors opening 90 minutes before Kings tip-off, though the event listing is the final check for your date. It is a cashless venue and says it has no cash-to-card kiosks, so arrange an accepted payment method before arrival.

Check the current bag rules before packing: ordinary clutches and wallets must be smaller than 8 × 6 × 1 inches, and backpacks are prohibited. Medical and parental bags have separate screening arrangements. The prohibited-items list also makes a Kings-specific exception for cowbells, while other noise-making devices are prohibited. Guest Services across from Sections 109 and 207 can help with accessibility questions and access to the sensory room.

Watching Sacramento Kings

October 5, 2026: For the Lakers preseason game, the club lists Kings+ at 7 p.m. Pacific (10 p.m. Eastern).

The NBA’s Kings+ help page describes a free subscription for eligible Sacramento-market fans. Check your ZIP code through its linked eligibility tool, register and sign in with the associated NBA ID. Registration renews every 365 days at no cost. Preseason live streams and replays are included; regular-season live games and replays are excluded. A separate League Pass subscription for other teams still carries national and local blackouts.

Start with the official team schedule and roster to understand the current group. Then compare the team’s pace, shot selection, and defensive approach with its opponents. The meaning of a result changes with the matchup, the available lineup, and the season context.
