Sports

Arizona is a sports lover's paradise, whether you’re a spectator, participant or a little of both. With year-round sunny skies, you never have to lose a day or two of your vacation due to inclement weather.

Fans flock to Arizona for its wide range of professional sports. Phoenix teams include Major League Baseball’s 2001 World Champs, the Arizona Diamondbacks, as well as the NBA Suns and WNBA Mercury, while the NHL Coyotes and NFL Arizona Cardinals all play in Glendale.

In Avondale, Phoenix International Raceway hosts some of the largest crowds in the state for NASCAR and Indy races. Further south, Marana – near Tucson – is home to the World Golf Championships Accenture Match Play tournament.

Some of Arizona’s most popular annual sporting events include:
