The NFL will have nine international games in 2026. One will be in Munich, Germany. The Arizona Cardinals will not play in that game.
How do we know?
The NFL announced on Tuesday that the Detroit Lions will be one of the teams in that game, and the designated home team is always the one announced. The Cardinals will face the Lions in 2026, but that game will be at State Farm Stadium, as the Lions are one of the Cardinals’ home opponents in 2026.
