2026 Fiesta Bowl Transportation
The Vrbo Fiesta Bowl returns to State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Thursday, January 8, 2026, bringing College Football Playoff semifinal action to the Valley. As one of college football’s most prestigious bowl games celebrates its 55th anniversary, Top Notch Transportation stands ready to deliver the premium service that championship football deserves. Since 2007, we’ve been the trusted transportation choice for fans who want to experience Arizona’s biggest sporting events without the parking stress and traffic headaches.
Championship Football Comes to Arizona
The 2026 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl serves as a College Football Playoff Semifinal for the fourth time, with kickoff scheduled for 5:30 PM MST at State Farm Stadium. The winning team advances to the CFP National Championship Game in Miami on January 19, 2026. This isn’t just another bowl game—it’s a national championship semifinal broadcast live on ESPN, bringing elite college football and massive crowds to Glendale.
Skip the Game Day Chaos
State Farm Stadium during playoff games creates extraordinary transportation challenges. Parking lots fill early, traffic on surrounding highways backs up for miles, and rideshare pickups after the game turn into hour-long waits. Top Notch Transportation eliminates all of it—delivering you directly to the stadium with convenient drop-off, and positioning your chauffeur for prompt departure when the final whistle blows.
⚠️ Important State Farm Stadium Transportation Policy
Due to permanent law enforcement and venue access restrictions, Top Notch Transportation provides hourly charter service only for all events at State Farm Stadium. Transfer, one-way, or round-trip service is not available. Vehicles cannot re-enter the stadium pickup area toward the end of an event due to street closures. If an inappropriate trip type is booked, our office will contact the client to advise of the required hourly charter rate adjustment. If the client chooses not to proceed, a refund may be issued minus applicable credit card processing and administrative fees.
