State Farm Stadium is a multi-purpose retractable roof stadium in Glendale, Arizona, United States, west of Phoenix.

It replaced Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe as the home of the Cardinals, and is adjacent to Desert Diamond Arena, former home of the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League.
The stadium has been the host of the Fiesta Bowl since 2007. It hosted two BCS National Championship games in 2007 and 2011 respectively. It hosted the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2016, three Super Bowls (2008, 2015, and 2023), as well as the Pro Bowl in 2015. It also hosted the final game of the 2025 NFL Wild Card weekend for the Los Angeles Rams against the Minnesota Vikings due to the Southern California Wildfires going on at the time. For soccer, it was one of the stadiums for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup also the first semi-final of the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the Copa América Centenario in 2016 and the 2024 Copa América in 2024.

The stadium opened in 2006 as Cardinals Stadium.

It was renamed in September 2018 for insurance company State Farm, which has an 18-year naming rights deal.
