Back to Things to Do

Sports

There’s almost always a game happening in Phoenix. The city fields teams in all four major professional sports leagues:  The NFL's Arizona Cardinals, NBA's Phoenix Suns, MLB's Arizona Diamondbacks and NHL's Arizona Coyotes. Downtown’s Talking Stick Resort Arena (formerly US Airways Center) is also home to the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and the Arena Football League’s Arizona Rattlers.

Greater Phoenix hosts major sporting events every year, including college football's Fiesta Bowl; the PGA Tour’s highest-attended event, the Waste Management Phoenix Open; NASCAR events each spring and fall; and Cactus League Spring Training, where fans can see the biggest names in the MLB up close as 15 teams train and play each March.

No game happening while you’re here? No worries. Both University of Phoenix Stadium and Chase Field offer public tours throughout the year allowing guests a behind-the-scenes look at the venues.
