The Arizona Cactus League Association continues to play a pivotal role in Arizona baseball as the spring training season wrapped up in March 2026. The league achieved record attendance, drawing 1,753,849 fans to 237 games—marking a fifth consecutive year of growth and the highest total since 2018. The Arizona Cactus League Association helped coordinate adaptive policies amid an unprecedented March heat wave, including rescheduling 11 games to evening hours and implementing hydration stations and eased drink restrictions at ballparks. These measures ensured fan safety without compromising the season’s attendance momentum.
