Sports | Visit Arizona

Phoenix offers MLB, NFL and NBA teams — the Diamondbacks, Cardinals and Suns. Let's not forget the WNBA’s Mercury, NASCAR, Cactus League Spring Training and the Big 12's Sun Devils and Wildcats.

With year-round sunny skies and teams for every season, sports are always on! If you're more participant than a spectator, marathons, mountain biking, skiing, horseback riding, golf and more encourage working up a sweat in the perfect Arizona weather.
