Phoenix Suns, FanDuel Opening Sportsbook At Phoenix Suns Arena

PHOENIX, AZ —The Phoenix Suns are teaming up with daily fantasy site FanDuel to open the city's first sportsbook at downtown's Phoenix Suns Arena, the team announced on Thursday.

The announcement comes on the same day that Gov. Doug Ducey approved House Bill 2772, which legalizes fantasy sports and sports betting in Arizona.

“This is a watershed moment for the Suns organization and our fans,” said Phoenix Suns President & CEO Jason Rowley. “FanDuel is the perfect partner as our missions are fully aligned. Simply put, FanDuel is committed to making sports more exciting while the Suns are focused on delivering exciting sports and entertainment and engaging fans at the highest level possible.”

The new sportsbook is expected to be operational in time for the start of the 2021-22 NBA season, the team said.

The new facility will include more than 6,300 square feet of space, complete with lounge seating.

The sportsbook will be open daily, allowing people to place bets on events throughout the year, the team said.

Fans will also be able to place bets on their phones during Suns games and other events from inside the arena.
