The NFL preseason continues tonight as the Arizona Cardinals travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders, with all the action airing on WFLI The Big One.
Arizona enters the matchup at 0-1 in preseason play, while Las Vegas will be taking the field with a 0-0 preseason record. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m., with airtime set for 7:30 p.m. on WFLI The Big One — 96.1 FM, 100.3 FM and AM 1070.
While wins and losses take a back seat to player evaluation during the preseason, tonight’s matchup will give both teams another opportunity to evaluate their rosters ahead of the regular season.
One of the biggest storylines will be at quarterback, with both teams getting a look at highly touted rookies.
The Cardinals will have former Georgia and Miami quarterback Carson Beck in the spotlight as he continues his transition to the NFL. Arizona will use the preseason to evaluate Beck’s development and see how he handles game action against NFL competition.
On the other side, Las Vegas will get a look at rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mendoza enters the league with plenty of expectations, and the preseason provides the Raiders with an early opportunity to see their new quarterback operate the offense in a live-game setting.
With roster spots and positions on the depth chart still up for grabs, both teams will be looking for strong performances from their young players as the preseason continues.
Catch the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders tonight on WFLI The Big One. Pregame coverage begins at 7:30 p.m., followed by kickoff at 8 p.m.
