Atlantic Union Bank Center is a multi-purpose arena on the campus of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia that plays host to the James Madison Dukes men's and women's basketball teams. It seats 8,500[1] and opened for the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's and women's basketball season, replacing the JMU Convocation Center.[2] Atlantic Union Bank is the arena's naming partner.[3]

The first games at the arena were played on November 25, 2020, when the men's team beat Limestone University 89–55,[4] followed by the women's team winning 69–55 over Mount St. Mary's University.[5]

Atlantic Union Bank Center was the host of the 2021 CAA men's basketball tournament.[6] The conference moved the men's basketball tournament to Harrisonburg from the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington, D.C. as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was won by Drexel University.
