The FPJ Arena is an indoor arena located in San Jose, Batangas, Philippines. Opened in 2023, the arena named after Fernando Poe Jr. is one of the home venues for the Batangas City Tanduay Rum Masters of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) and has also hosted its share of Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) games as an out-of-town venue.

History

The arena opened on August 20, 2023, coinciding with the 84th birthday of late actor and National Artist Fernando Poe Jr., who the arena is named after. Senator Grace Poe, one of FPJ's daughters, was in attendance for the opening that day.

The arena hosted its first Philippine Basketball Association game on December 9, 2023 during the 2023–24 Comissioner's Cup, featuring the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters. On June 11, 2024, the Batangas City Tanduay Rum Masters played their first home game in San Jose against the Biñan Tatak Gel, marking the first Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League game at the venue.
