Phoenix Suns, Mercury Arena Renamed Mortgage Matchup Center in 10-Year, Nearly $115 Million Deal

The agreement installs UWM’s Mortgage Matchup as the teams’ official mortgage partner, aligning the arena’s branding with owner Mat Ishbia’s business.

Overview

  • The rebrand takes effect Friday and designates Mortgage Matchup as the official mortgage partner of the Suns, Mercury and Valley Suns.
  • The city-owned venue is operated by Ishbia’s Player 15, and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego publicly supported the naming-rights agreement.
  • The arena is slated to host the 2026 NCAA Women’s Final Four and the 2027 NBA All-Star Game, with WNBA Finals games in Phoenix next week.
  • Ishbia projects a 50% to 70% lift in visits to mortgagematchup.com from the exposure, with on-site fan activations such as a potential loan-officer booth under consideration.
  • Local reporting indicated multiple bidders for the rights before Mortgage Matchup secured the 10-year partnership.
