The SM Seaside City Arena was a proposed indoor arena with a 16,000 seating capacity to be built in Cebu City, Philippines. In 2013, it was originally reported that the arena was to be slightly smaller than the Mall of Asia Arena which has a 20,000 people capacity. It was planned to house international concerts and events.[1] It was planned to become a venue for the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) and was one of the planned venues for the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, should the Philippines have won its bid to host the tournament. The arena was supposed to be part of the SM Seaside City Cebu mall complex in the city's reclamation area called South Road Properties.[2]

In January 2017, SM Prime Holdings decided to cancel its plan to build the arena.[3]
