Glendale is the site of two major sports venues:  [[State Farm Stadium]] and [[Desert Diamond Arena]]. Both venues are part of the Glendale Sports and Entertainment District development plan, meant to spur growth in the sparsely inhabited Yucca district. Both venues are owned by the City of Glendale.

State Farm Stadium has been the home field of the [[Arizona Cardinals]] in the [[National Football League]] since 2006, and the annual [[Fiesta Bowl]] college football game since 2007. Both the Cardinals and bowl game moved from [[Mountain America Stadium]] on the [[Arizona State University]] campus in [[Tempe, Arizona|Tempe]]. Since opening, the facility has hosted three [[Super Bowl]]s, three college football national championship games, the [[NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four]], [[WrestleMania XXVI]] and [[International Champions Cup]] soccer to Glendale. Designed by architect Peter Eisenman, the stadium was featured on [[History (U.S. TV channel)|The History Channel]] TV series, ''[[Modern Marvels]]'' because of its roll-out natural grass field.

[[Desert Diamond Arena]] (formerly Glendale Arena, then Jobing.com Arena and Gila River Arena) and [[Westgate Entertainment District]] is adjacent to State Farm Stadium, and was the home of the [[Arizona Coyotes]] of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL). It was also the home of the now defunct [[Arizona Sting]] of the [[National Lacrosse League]] (NLL). The inaugural [[Street League Skateboarding]] event was held in the summer of 2010 in Glendale at the Gila River Arena. This street skateboarding competition returns to Glendale annually. Currently, the arena hosts the [[Arizona Rattlers]] of the [[Indoor Football League]].

In 2009, the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] and the [[Chicago White Sox]]  of [[Major League Baseball]] began to share the new  [[Camelback Ranch|Camelback Ranch-Glendale]] spring training complex and stadium in Glendale owned and operated by the City of Glendale.
