The Tegera Arena is wholly owned by Leksands IF Immobilien LTD, a subsidiary of Leksands IF. Construction of the stadium began on July 5, 2004 and was completed in October 2005.

In addition to the FM Matsson Arena in neighboring Mora, the Tegera Arena was the venue for the 2007 U20 Junior Ice Hockey World Championship . Both the semi-finals and the final took place in Leksand.
The official attendance record of 8017 spectators was reached on January 6, 2006 in a game against rival Mora IK , but since then the maximum capacity has been reduced to 7650 seats due to safety requirements.

In addition to ice hockey games, the arena also offers space for concerts and other events. In 2006, 2009 and 2011 the arena was the venue for the Melodifestivalen , the Swedish preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest .
