The Sphere Heads East: Sphere Maryland National Harbor Development Announced
Sphere Entertainment announces plans for Sphere Maryland National Harbor, the second U.S. venue of its kind. Learn about the location, context, and future outlook.
The world's most immersive screen is heading to the East Coast. Sphere Entertainment has officially announced its intent to develop a second U.S. Sphere venue in Maryland, located just 15 minutes south of Washington, D.C.
Details on the Sphere Maryland National Harbor Site
The proposed venue will be situated in National Harbor within Prince George's County. According to reports from The Verge, this waterfront location along the Potomac River already serves as a major hub with convention centers, hotels, and retail spaces. While a definitive timeline hasn't been set, the company's move marks its second domestic venture following the groundbreaking success in Las Vegas.
Expanding the Immersive Empire
This announcement follows a series of aggressive expansion moves by the company. In October 2024, Sphere Entertainment revealed plans for its first international site in Abu Dhabi. The Maryland project represents a strategic play to capture the dense population and high-traffic tourism of the D.C. metropolitan area.
