The Arizona Cardinals are locked into a third-place finish in the NFC West. That means a third-place schedule for 2025.
They will have six games in the division, three at home and three on the road. They are scheduled to play all four teams in both the NFC South and and AFC South.
Three games are determined by the third-place finish. They will play the third-place team in the NFC North and NFC East and, as the 17th game of the schedule, the third-place team in the AFC North.
Because of how things have gone in the three divisions the Cardinals play a third-place team, those teams have also locked in a third-place finish.
In 2025, they will have eight home games in the regular season and nine on the road (every team in the NFC has an extra road game, while everyone in the AFC has a ninth home game). That means two preseason home games when that schedule is announced.
