The NFL will release its full 2026 regular-season schedule on Thursday, but some games have already been announced. The league’s broadcast partners have revealed some of their premier matchups.<\/p>\n
Thus far, none of the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>‘ games have been revealed, although we know some of when they will not face certain opponents.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The league revealed all nine of the international games<\/a> that will be played in 2026. The Cardinals will play in none of them.<\/p>\n 2026 NFL international games<\/p>\n The Cardinals potentially could have played in the following games, based on the designated home teams:<\/p>\n Week 1 in Melbourne against the Rams<\/p>\n Week 3 in Rio de Janeiro against the Cowboys<\/p>\n Week 7 in Paris against the Saints<\/p>\n Week 11 in Mexico City against the 49ers<\/p>\n The Rams, Cowboys, Saints and 49ers are all part of their away schedule.<\/p>\n Why no international games?<\/p>\n Well, unfortunately, the Cardinals have little worldwide appeal right now. They no longer have a well known quarterback in Kyler Murray<\/a>. They are not expected to be very good in 2026, and, as of right now, they are projected to have a young, intriguing quarterback playing.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n They also have a solid stadium situation.<\/p>\n They have not played in an international game since 2022 in Mexico against the 49ers. Perhaps in 2027 they will be back on the international slate.<\/p>\n Get more Cardinals<\/a> and NFL coverage from Cards<\/a> Wire’s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
