UTPA Fieldhouse (UTRGV Fieldhouse after 2015 school year due to the school's name change) is a 2,500-seat multi-purpose arena in Edinburg, Texas. It was built in 1969 and is home to the University of Texas-Pan American Broncs men's and women's basketball teams. The Fieldhouse is also home to the UTPA volleyball team, and is used extensively by the Department of Health and Kinesiology.

Located on the far east end of the campus, the UTPA Fieldhouse is among the oldest Division I arenas in Texas. While capacity is officially listed at 2,500, a record crowd of 5,649 jammed the Fieldhouse in 1981 to see the Broncs battle Pat Foster’s Lamar Cardinals. While maintaining a sense of history and tradition, the UTPA Fieldhouse has undergone renovations. A new center court, new bleachers, and court-side seating were added in 2010. In 2012, a new electronic scoreboard was added. Volleyball offices, locker rooms, and team meeting rooms were renovated in 2012. Basketball offices, locker rooms, and team meeting rooms were renovated in 2013.
