The Arizona Cardinals finished the season 8-9 with their 47-24 home win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. They finished in third place in the NFC West. As such, they locked in a third-place schedule for their 2025 opponents.
Their third-place finish was locked in after Week 17, but let us take a look at their 2025 opponents.
Their third-place finish only impacts three games on their schedule.
The Cardinals will play the three teams in the NFC West at home and on the road. They are scheduled, like the rest of the teams in the division, to face all four teams in both the NFC South and AFC South.
The other three opponents are the third-place teams in the NFC East, NFC North and AFC North. The other teams in the NFC West face the corresponding teams in those divisions finishing in the same place as they did.
Arizona and the rest of the NFC will have eight home games and play nine on the road.
