The arena's current primary tenant is the [[Portland Trail Blazers]] of the NBA. Both the Trail Blazers and Moda Center are ultimately owned by the estate of [[Microsoft]] co-founder [[Paul Allen]], which also owns the [[Seattle Seahawks]] of the [[National Football League]]. The head of the estate is his sister [[Jody Allen]]. The Trail Blazers have a lease agreement with [[Moda Health]] which runs through 2025,<ref>{{cite news|title=Look Who's Not Talking Now|first=Kerry|last=Eggers|url=http://thetribonline.com/news/story.php?story_id=34150|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124144346/http://thetribonline.com/news/story.php?story_id=34150|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 24, 2022|publisher=[[Portland Tribune]]|date=February 28, 2006|access-date=April 24, 2013}}</ref> and an exclusive site agreement with the City of Portland requires the team to remain in Portland through October 2030.<ref>{{Cite web |title= |url=https://www.portland.gov/wheeler/documents/moda-bridge-agreement-lease-summary/download}}</ref>

It was home to the [[Portland Winterhawks]] of the [[Western Hockey League]], a Canadian-based [[junior hockey]] league. Both the Trail Blazers and Winterhawks previously played in the Memorial Coliseum and moved to the arena when it was completed in 1995. However, the Winterhawks played home games in both facilities during the season. Moda Center and Winterhawks hold the [[Western Hockey League]]'s record for single game attendance with a crowd of 14,103 on March 15, 1997, in which Portland tied the visiting [[Seattle Thunderbirds]], 6–6. Prior to the start of the 2021-22 WHL season, the Winterhawks announced they will be moving back to Veterans Memorial Coliseum full-time.<ref>[https://winterhawks.com/article/winterhawks-share-2021-22-regular-season-schedule Winterhawks Share 2021-22 Regular Season Schedule]</ref>

The arena was also built to accommodate an [[National Hockey League|NHL]] franchise and there has been speculation over the years about Portland landing an NHL team; however this has not occurred. A former third tenant was the [[Portland Lumberjax]] of the [[National Lacrosse League]], who played four seasons in the arena prior to disbanding.<ref name="trib-2009may4">{{cite news|title=LumberJax Will Move From Portland|url=http://thetribonline.com/sports/story.php?story_id=124147797860507900|newspaper=[[Portland Tribune]]|date=May 4, 2009|access-date=April 24, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161022081833/http://thetribonline.com/sports/story.php?story_id=124147797860507900|archive-date=October 22, 2016}}</ref><ref name="dispersal">{{cite news|title=Portland Lumberjax Dispersal Draft Expected Tuesday, Plus Trade Rumours|url=http://www.nllinsider.com/2009/07/02/portland-lumberjax-dispersal-draft-expected-tuesday-plus-trade-rumours/|work=NLL Insider|date=July 2, 2009|access-date=July 7, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310071001/http://www.ilindoor.com/2009/07/02/portland-lumberjax-dispersal-draft-expected-tuesday-plus-trade-rumours/|archive-date=2012-03-10|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The arena has hosted numerous other minor league sports teams as well. In 1997, an [[Arena Football League|AFL]] team landed in Portland from [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]] as the [[Portland Forest Dragons]]. Two seasons later, they relocated to [[Oklahoma City]]. The arena started hosting another AFL team, the [[Portland Steel]] (originally called the Portland Thunder), from 2014 until it disbanded in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arenafootball.com/sports/a-footbl/spec-rel/100213aai.html|title=Arena Football to Return to Portland in 2014|work=[[Arena Football League]]|date=October 2, 2013|access-date=October 2, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004213349/http://www.arenafootball.com/sports/a-footbl/spec-rel/100213aai.html|archive-date=2013-10-04|url-status=usurped}}</ref> From 2000 through 2002, the facility hosted the now-defunct [[Portland Fire]] of the [[Women's National Basketball Association|WNBA]].
