The University of Arizona and Casino Del Sol announced a landmark 20-year naming rights agreement for Arizona Stadium valued at more than $60 million, according to a press release by the school. This is now the largest such deal in Big 12 Conference history.
Under the agreement, the Wildcats’ longtime home will be renamed Casino Del Sol Stadium, an enterprise of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, beginning June 2026.
Casino Del Sol will join Arizona Athletics’ top tier of corporate supporters as a Pillar Partner with exclusivity across casino, gaming and resort designations.
The partnership includes new exterior and interior stadium branding, updated field signage, enhanced digital platforms and expanded visibility during national television broadcasts.
University and tribal leaders said the collaboration is designed to deepen academic, cultural and economic ties between Arizona’s flagship land-grant institution and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe.
The naming rights announcement coincides with Arizona’s planned multiyear facilities enhancement initiative.
“By naming one of our campus landmarks for Casino Del Sol, we are telling that audience how proud we are to partner with the Pascua Yaqui Tribe,” Arizona president Suresh Garimella said in a statement.
Arizona opens the 2026 football season at home against Northern Arizona.
