Major League teams
El Paso is, as of 2006, the 2nd largest U.S. city (but not metropolitan area) by population (behind Austin, Texas) not to have a team in one of the big four professional leagues (NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB). El Paso hosts the annual NCAA Brut Sun Bowl, boxing matches, and occasional NBA preseason games and NFL exhibition games. El Paso is also the site of the Borderland Derby horse race held in the nearby suburb of Sunland Park.
