To ensure clarity and stability for both the team and its supporters, the club\u2019s management chose a reliable solution \u2013 an arena that fans have already turned into the true home of Rytas through their support.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"1324\">\u201cWe are very close to a final agreement with the arena\u2019s operator, but there are still questions regarding the fan experience and safeguarding the club\u2019s interests. We proposed various solutions that would have benefited all parties, but so far no compromise has been reached with the third parties involved with the arena, so we see no point in moving under these conditions,\u201d said Rytas Vilnius director Jaroslav Latu\u0161inskij. \u201cUntil we have a clear solution suitable for everyone, we chose to start the season at Active Vilnius Arena \u2013 here our community feels at home, and membership holders can renew their seats without disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1601\">Although negotiations regarding another arena are not yet finalized, the most important thing is that the capital\u2019s team has a secure place for its games, and fans can secure their seats starting September 8, when the JBR membership renewal for the 2025\u20132026 season begins.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1858\">The season will start with an intense schedule \u2013 on September 21, Rytas will play its first Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) game against K\u0117dainiai\u2019s Nev\u0117\u017eis-Paskol\u0173 klubas, and a few days later, on September 24, will host Garg\u017edai\u2019s Garg\u017edus at home.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1860\" data-end=\"2277\">Active Vilnius Arena is the stronghold of Rytas Vilnius, renowned for its unique atmosphere. Here, fans are very close to the court, and their support creates real pressure on opponents. In this arena, supporters will continue to enjoy the games and cheer for the team, while the club, together with its partner Active Vilnius, will strive to ensure the best possible experience both on the court and in the stands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rytas Vilnius will begin the new 2025\u20132026 basketball season with some changes \u2013 the capital\u2019s club has officially confirmed that its first home games will be played at the Active Vilnius Arena.
