Irving and its surrounding areas of Dallas and Ft. Worth have a lot to offer in the way of professional sports to visitors.  Depending on the season, fans traveling in the area can have their choice of catching a major league baseball game with the Texas Rangers, a football game with the Dallas Cowboys, or an NHL Hockey match-up with the Dallas Stars.  The area also offers minor league hockey with its Fort Worth Brahmas team and Arena Football with the Dallas Desperados.  Game schedules, ticket information, directions, and parking information are all available at the teams' individual websites.

For those who may be looking for something a little different than just baseball, football, or hockey, Irving also offers a variety of other sports.  The area has its own equestrian center, a large stadium home to many horse shows and riding events.  The Mesquite Championship Rodeo is open every Friday and Saturday night during the spring and summer, and the nearby Texas Motor Speedway hosts a number of high-profile racing events.
