Fiesta Bowl Week · Late December 2026

Fiesta Bowl
in Arizona.

The Fiesta Bowl is Arizona's marquee college-football event, played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale — right in the West Valley. Around the game, the whole region lights up: the Fiesta Bowl Parade in downtown Phoenix, tailgates, pep rallies, and a packed Westgate entertainment district next to the stadium. Football, fireworks, and perfect bowl-season weather.
