Phoenix Rising Stadium at 38th St/Washington

Phoenix Rising FC Stadium sits at 38th Street and Washington in Phoenix, in a setting just north of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and along the Valley Metro Rail light-rail corridor — minutes from downtown Phoenix and Old Town Scottsdale. Downtown Phoenix with Chase Field (Diamondbacks), Footprint Center (Suns, Mercury), the Phoenix Convention Center, Roosevelt Row arts district, and the Heard Museum (the destination Phoenix Native American art and culture museum) sits a short ride west along Washington Street and is the canonical pre- or post-match destination. The Tempe Town Lake and Arizona State University main campus sit a short ride east along the light-rail line. Old Town Scottsdale with the Scottsdale Civic Center and the Scottsdale Fashion Square sits a short ride north. The Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden at Papago Park sit a short ride east. The neighborhood reads as a new airport-adjacent stadium with downtown Phoenix, ASU, and Scottsdale all within a short light-rail or drive radius.

Plan to arrive 60-90 minutes before kickoff — the 38th-and-Washington location is still settling its match-day flow patterns and the closest lots fill steadily. Phoenix Rising FC Stadium opened in 2023 at 38th Street and Washington in Phoenix as the club's new home, replacing the prior modular stadium at the Wild Horse Pass / Tempe site. The new location is a substantial upgrade — along the Valley Metro Rail light-rail line, minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport, and minutes from downtown Phoenix and Old Town Scottsdale. Phoenix Rising FC is one of the most-prominent USL Championship clubs, with the 2023 USL Championship title, multiple deep U.S. Open Cup runs (including a 2023 quarterfinal upset of Inter Miami CF with Lionel Messi on the visiting roster, one of the most-cited USL moments of the modern era), and a list of past players including Didier Drogba (who joined as a player-owner in 2017). The Red Fury supporters' group anchors the supporters' end. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the Phoenix Rising FC official site before going.
