Bentley Scottsdale Returns as Title Sponsor for 13th Year as Lifted Trucks, UBS, INEOS Grenadier Arrowhead, Southern Wine & Spirits, Private Air and Insight Join Growing Sponsor Lineup.
From luxury cars and private aviation to global finance and fine wine, an impressive roster of brands is backing the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships as the nation’s most-attended polo event returns to Scottsdale this fall for its 15th anniversary.
Bentley Scottsdale will return as title sponsor, as it has for over a decade, when the Scottsdale Polo Party takes over WestWorld of Scottsdale on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, leading a growing roster of new and returning sponsors as organizers prepare for the biggest edition of the Polo Party to date.
New sponsors Lifted Trucks, UBS, INEOS Grenadier Arrowhead, Southern Wine & Spirits, Private Air, Griggs Group powered by the Altman Brothers, Smile Evolution, Patterson Homes, Semper Fi Heating and Cooling, and Insight join an expansive lineup of returning sponsors, including presenting sponsor Gila River Resorts & Casinos, Maserati Scottsdale, Sanderson Lincoln, Old Town Scottsdale and Barrett-Jackson. Their support comes as the nation’s most-attended polo event adds even more punch to a day already packed with international polo, fashion, luxury experiences, live entertainment and some unexpected additions that extend well beyond the polo field.
“Bentley Scottsdale has watched this event grow year after year, and it continues to find new ways to raise the bar,” said Beli Merdovic, general manager of Bentley Scottsdale. “The Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships bring together great cars, elite competition, high fashion and an incredible crowd in a way that feels uniquely Scottsdale. We’re proud to return as title sponsor and be part of the spectacle only the Scottsdale Polo Party can deliver.”
This year’s event will also include the highly anticipated return of the Semper Fi Heating & Cooling Army vs. Navy Match just days before Veterans Day as well as an opening match between the Arizona Polo Club and New Orleans Polo Club. England. Select will play Dark Horse Dallas in the featured match.
But the action on the polo field is only the beginning.
For the first time, the Scottsdale Polo Party will include Best of the West: The Inaugural Arizona State Acoustic Guitar Championships. Martha Masters, an Arizona State University guitar faculty member and president of the Guitar Foundation of America, will direct the new competition, adding another distinct element to the day.
The 15th anniversary lineup will also introduce an Arizona wine tasting experience and special-edition polo wine as well as a first-ever rugby match between the nationally ranked Scottsdale Blues Rugby Team and San Diego Old Aztecs. A new on-site sports bar and cigar lounge with Million Dollar Mingle will also give guests a place to catch college football throughout the day without having to leave the event.
Fashion returns to the field with Phoenix Fashion Week’s “The World’s Longest Catwalk,” Lugari Pet Salon’s Canine Couture dog fashion show and a new “Cowgirl Couture” show from Franklin, Tennessee-based Moo Country, bringing Western glam and Nashville style to Scottsdale.
The Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show will also get in on the action, with the Polo Party’s first Western Pleasure Competition during halftime. Million Dollar Mingle will return as a standalone “event within the event,” uniting entrepreneurs, community leaders and influencers.
Returning sponsor Barrett-Jackson will again lend its name to the Champagne & Jazz Lounge, while guests can also spend the day at the Riot House DayClub. After the final polo match, Walter Productions will take over for the Sunset After-Party featuring Kalliope, its massive mobile sound stage and one of Burning Man’s most recognizable art cars.
“We set out to make the 15th anniversary bigger, but that doesn’t just mean adding more things to the schedule,” said Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships General Manager Mary Turner. “It means bringing together the right partners and creating an experience people can’t get anywhere else. The mix of sponsors joining us this year says a lot about what the Polo Party has become and the kind of attention it brings to Scottsdale.”
