Phoenix Sports and Events Commission
Phoenix is a premier destination for both world-class sports and unforgettable events. As the proud home of teams in three major professional leagues—the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, and MLB’s Arizona Diamondbacks—our city lives and breathes competition. Fans also rally behind the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury at Footprint Center and the USL’s Phoenix Rising FC, ensuring there’s excitement year-round on the field, court, and pitch. Beyond our home teams, Phoenix hosts marquee events like the college football Rate Bowl, the PGA Tour’s Waste Management Phoenix Open, NASCAR’s spring and fall races, and Cactus League Spring Training, where 15 Major League Baseball teams prepare for the season.
But Phoenix is more than just sports. With more sunshine than nearly any other U.S. metropolitan area, our city is made for outdoor celebrations and community gatherings. From food and music festivals to cultural showcases and family-friendly activities, the events calendar is always full. Whether you’re here for a convention, visiting for a game, or exploring as a local, there’s always something happening in Greater Phoenix.
Come soak up the sun, experience the energy, and discover why Phoenix is the ultimate place to play, cheer, and celebrate.
