After every Kings home win, a purple beam shoots into the Sacramento sky from the roof of Golden 1 Center. The tradition started in 2022-23 when the Kings ended a 16-year playoff drought. Home wins only. No beam for losses.

This site tracks every beam lighting, live. Data from ESPN, updates every 30 seconds during games. Hover any win to light it yourself.

Built By

@BrendanWelsh — lifelong Kings fan, born and raised in Sacramento. Grew up sitting in the nosebleeds at Arco Arena watching Bibby, Webber, Peja, Vlade, Doug Christie, and the greatest team to never win a championship. Watched them lose to the Lakers in the most rigged series in NBA history. Sat through the dark years. The rebuild years. The "maybe next year" years. Sixteen years without playoffs. And when they finally made it back in 2023, I cried like I was ten years old again.

Still here. Still watching. Still waiting for the beam to light up more than it doesn't.
