SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Scottsdale knows how to make an entrance, and this year's Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships proved that some traditions only get better with time.
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, the 15th annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships transformed WestWorld of Scottsdale into a lively destination for sports, fashion, music, and entertainment. With beautiful fall weather setting the scene, thousands of guests gathered for a full day of experiences that went far beyond the polo field.
The event welcomed 12,448 attendees, marking a successful milestone for one of Arizona's signature fall celebrations. Organizers also reported a 37% increase in food and beverage sales, while ticket purchases during the two days leading up to the event reached their highest two-day total in the championship's 15-year history.
From sold-out VIP experiences to crowds lining the field, the anniversary celebration reflected the event's continued popularity.
A Day of Competition on the Field
While the fashion and festivities certainly drew attention, polo remained at the heart of the celebration.
Three matches brought competitive energy to the field, with the New Orleans Polo Club defeating the Arizona Polo Club 11–4. In another close matchup, England Select edged out the U.S. All-Stars 4–3.
The event's Semper Fi Military Matchup featured Army taking on Navy, with Army securing an 8–4 victory.
Before the polo matches began, guests were treated to a rugby opener featuring the nationally ranked San Diego Old Aztecs and the Scottsdale Blues. Scottsdale delivered an impressive performance, earning a 36–0 victory.
Together, the matches showcased a mix of athletic competition and traditions that have helped make the championships a distinctive part of Scottsdale's annual event calendar.

Fashion Takes Center Stage
Of course, a Scottsdale polo celebration wouldn't be complete without a little fashion.
Phoenix Fashion Week returned with its World's "Longest" Fashion Show, bringing runway style to an event already known for its eye-catching outfits and social atmosphere.
Four-legged fashionistas also joined the festivities during Lugari Pet Salon's "Canine Couture: A Dog Fashion Show Like No Other," adding a playful touch to the day's entertainment.
Making its Scottsdale Polo Party debut, Nashville-based Moo Country introduced its Cowboy & Cowgirl Couture presentation, featuring the brand's "How The West Is Worn" collection.
The combination of runway looks, Western-inspired fashion, and canine couture created an experience that celebrated Scottsdale's blend of sophistication, creativity, and personality.

From Polo Fields to an Electric After-Party
As the sun went down, the celebration was far from over.
The Riot House After Party brought festival-style energy to WestWorld with Kalliope, a towering mobile sound stage known for appearances at major music festivals.
Electronic music duo Phantoms performed from the elevated stage, turning the evening into a dance-filled celebration as guests gathered around the massive structure.
It was a fitting conclusion to an anniversary event designed to offer something for everyone.
And amid the excitement, there was even a romantic moment, as one couple celebrated an engagement during the festivities.
Fifteen Years of Scottsdale Tradition
For event organizers, this year's turnout represented more than a successful Saturday. It was a celebration of 15 years of bringing together sports, entertainment, local culture, and community.
"This is exactly the kind of day we work all year to create," said General Manager Mary Turner. "The weather was beautiful, the tents were packed and everywhere you looked, people were having a great time. After 15 years, Scottsdale proved it still knows how to show up for polo."
Event Owner and Producer Jason Rose shared that excitement, describing the milestone celebration as exceeding expectations.
"We couldn't have scripted a better 15th anniversary," Rose said. "This year's results were extraordinary, and it's especially gratifying to have that kind of success after 15 years."
