The NFL has announced the Arizona Cardinals are the home team for this year’s game in Mexico City, marking the fifth regular-season game played at Estadio Azteca.
The Cardinals last played in Mexico 15 years ago when they squared off against the 49ers.
“We are incredibly excited to be returning to Estadio Azteca where we had such a positive experience in 2005,” Cardinals Chairman and President Michael Bidwell said via the press release. “The Cardinals are very appreciative of the support we receive from fans in Mexico and look forward to a tremendous experience.”
The league did not announce any additional details about the game, including naming the visiting team, the date or kickoff time.
We will be the home team for a game at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City in 2020.

As one of the teams in the league who face Arizona on the road, the Seahawks could possibly be the mystery opponent in question. The Cardinals’ other possible away opponents in Mexico are the Eagles, Redskins, Bills, Rams and 49ers.
Stay tuned for further details as they become available.
