- Arizona big league sports include: Arizona Cardinals (NFL), Arizona Diamondbacks (MLB), Phoenix Suns (NBA), Phoenix Coyotes (NHL) and Phoenix Mercury (WNBA).
- During February and March, Arizona serves as the training home for the Cactus League - 12 major league baseball teams that want to take advantage of the state's warm weather and multi-million dollar training complexes. Nine train in the greater Phoenix metro area and three in Tucson. The teams that claim the Phoenix area as their summer home are: Anaheim Angels, Chicago Cubs, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Athletics, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers. The teams that train in Tucson are the Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies and the Chicago White Sox.
- The new Cardinals Stadium will be the site of Super Bowl XLII in 2008 and Fiesta Bowl in 2007.
- With more than 300 golf courses throughout the state, Arizona is recognized as one of the world's premier golf destinations. Three pro golf tournaments have regular stops in Phoenix: The FBR Open (PGA), the Safeway International (LPGA) and the Gila River Classic (PGA); and the Accenture Match Play Championship (WGC) will stop in Tucson.
