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

Built by @BrendanWelsh. Born and raised in Sacramento. Grew up in the nosebleeds at Arco Arena. Skipped school in 4th grade to go get Carl's Jr Kings bobbleheads. Watched Webber, Peja, Vlade, Doug Christie, and the greatest team to never win a championship lose to the Lakers in the most rigged series in NBA history.

Sat through the dark years. Sixteen years without playoffs. When they finally made it back in 2023, the beam hit different.
