The Arizona Cardinals are eyeing an international outing in 2026, but London won't be on their itinerary. The NFL has revealed its lineup for London games, with the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting two matchups-one at Wembley Stadium and another at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders will also take the field at Tottenham.
For Cardinals fans hoping to see their team in the UK, it's a no-go this time around. The Cardinals won't be facing the Jaguars, whom they met in 2025, and while they will clash with the Commanders, that game will unfold on Arizona soil.
Looking at the broader international slate for 2026, the NFL is spreading its wings across the globe. Melbourne, Australia, will host a game featuring the LA Rams.
In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Dallas Cowboys are set to take the stage. Munich, Germany, will see the Detroit Lions in action.
Besides the London matchups, there will be a game in Madrid, Spain, and another in Mexico City, Mexico, where the San Francisco 49ers will play. Paris, France, will also be part of the international showcase, with the New Orleans Saints as one of the teams.
So, where might the Cardinals find themselves on this global tour? They could potentially square off against the Rams in Melbourne.
A face-off with the Cowboys in Rio is on the table since they have a road game against Dallas. Mexico City is another option, where they could revisit a matchup with the 49ers, as they did in 2005 and 2022.
Lastly, a game in Paris is possible, with the Saints being one of their road opponents.
The stage is set for an exciting season of international NFL action, and while London is out of the picture for the Cardinals, several intriguing possibilities remain.
