Phoenix will take center stage this summer as it hosts the Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships from August 6 to 9, 2026. The nation's top gymnasts will compete for national titles and a place on the U.S. National Team, setting the stage for the 2026 World Championships in Rotterdam. The energy inside the Mortgage Matchup Center (formerly known as the Footprint Center) will be electric, and the city will be buzzing with fans, families, and professionals from across the country.
What You'll Get Here
We'll walk you through what to expect at the event, where to stay, and how to make the most of your time in Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, and the surrounding areas.
Experience the Best in U.S. Gymnastics
The Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships bring together elite gymnasts for four days of competition. Every routine counts, and every score shapes the future of Team USA.
The competition will feature both men's and women's artistic gymnastics across all Olympic apparatus. Gymnasts will compete on vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise for the women, while men will showcase their skills on floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. The top competitors earn spots on the U.S. National Team and gain selection for international assignments, including the 2026 World Championships in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Alongside the main event, the USA Gymnastics National Congress and Trade Show will welcome more than 2,500 attendees and exhibitors. Coaches, judges, club owners, and industry professionals will gather for educational sessions, networking opportunities, and the latest innovations in gymnastics equipment and training.
Stay Smart: Short-Term Rentals for Comfort and Convenience
Hotels near the Mortgage Matchup Center fill quickly during major events. We recommend short-term rentals for families, teams, and groups who want more space and flexibility. A rental home gives you a full kitchen for quick breakfasts, private bedrooms for rest, and a living area to unwind after long competition days.
Our properties across Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe keep you close to the action while offering the comfort of home. Choose from modern condos downtown, family-friendly homes near Papago Park, or quiet retreats in Old Town Scottsdale. Each option gives you privacy, convenience, and the freedom to enjoy your stay your way.
For families traveling with young gymnasts competing at the championships, having a dedicated space makes a real difference. Parents can prepare healthy meals tailored to their athlete's nutrition needs. Siblings have room to play without disturbing other guests. Coaches traveling with teams can gather everyone for video review sessions or team meetings in a comfortable living room rather than cramped hotel corridors.
Explore More Than the Arena
Between sessions, take time to enjoy the desert's best outdoor spots.
Phoenix and its neighboring cities offer a mix of adventure, art, and dining. From Roosevelt Row's murals to Scottsdale's sunset patios, there's plenty to explore once the final scores are in. The weather in early August will be hot, but the early mornings and evenings provide an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.
