(Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images) | Getty Images The 2026 NFL schedule release is happening tomorrow, but we have some ideas on when the Arizona Cardinals will not play, based on some rumors and some announcements we have seen so far we know that there are two things: First, the Cardinals will not play an international game this year if you are to believe Ozzy NFL, who has been leaking things accurately for the last couple of seasons. If this is accurate, we can also deduce the Cardinals will not be playing certain opponents during those weeks, won’t go to Dallas week three, won’t host the Eagles week five, won’t travel to New Orleans week seven and won’t play the Niners late in November. I am hopeful that this team can get some on-paper winnable games early in the season. Seeing either of the New York teams, along with the Raiders and potentially the Commanders could give this team a little momentum. On the flipside, if they are bad early, maybe you want to see those teams later when and if they make the move to Carson Beck. Anyway you slice it, we will post the updates as they come in, but from my experience, we won’t get too many Arizona Cardinals leaks, but when other teams schedules get leaked, we can use that to build the Cardinals schedule. So, with the Arizona Cardinals win total sitting at 4.5 according to our friends at , do you think it will move at all, and which direction, when we get the Cardinals official 2026 NFL schedule?
