Minneapolis maintains dedicated venues that serve as the primary infrastructure for its six professional sports teams, including the Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Wild, Minnesota Timberwolves, Minnesota Lynx and Minnesota United FC.

Target Center Supports Basketball and WNBA Operations

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx both play home games at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. Anthony Edwards leads the Timberwolves roster at this facility. The Lynx have secured four WNBA championships at Target Center in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017, along with the Commissioner's Cup in 2024.

Allianz Field Hosts MLS Matches Outside Minneapolis

Minnesota United FC competes in Major League Soccer at Allianz Field located in St. Paul. The remaining five teams, the Vikings, Twins, Wild, Timberwolves and Lynx, conduct their home schedules within Minneapolis city limits.

Minneapolis-Saint Paul ranks among only 12 U.S. metro areas that field teams across every major sports league. This distribution of venues allows the metro area to accommodate NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, WNBA and MLS competition through established local infrastructure.

Residents and visitors access these facilities for regular season schedules and special events tied to the listed teams. The concentration of venues in Minneapolis paired with the St. Paul site for soccer creates a regional network that sustains year-round professional play.

Supporters can follow upcoming home games through the official team sites listed on the Minneapolis tourism sports page and the Explore Minnesota pro teams directory to plan attendance at Target Center or Allianz Field.
