Taking a look at the Saints’ Week 2 opponent after they face the Cardinals in Week 1.<\/p>\n
The NFL released its full 2025 regular-season schedule.\u00a0We know the Arizona Cardinals’ schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n What we don’t readily know are their opponents’ schedules. In particular, it is good to know the teams their opponents play before and after their game against the Cardinals<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Cardinals open the season against the New Orleans Saints<\/a>, so there is no previous opponent, but let’s have a look at what teams the Saints face following their Week 1 showdown against Arizona.<\/p>\n New Orleans Saints 2025 regular-season scheduleWeek 1:\u00a0Sunday, Sept. 7, vs.\u00a0Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, CBSWeek 2:\u00a0Sunday, Sept. 14, vs.\u00a0San Francisco 49ers<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 3:\u00a0Sunday, Sept. 21, at\u00a0Seattle Seahawks<\/a>, 3:05 p.m. CT, CBSWeek 4:\u00a0Sunday, Sept. 28, at\u00a0Buffalo Bills<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, CBSWeek 5:\u00a0Sunday, Oct. 5, vs.\u00a0New York Giants<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, CBSWeek 6:\u00a0Sunday, Oct. 12, vs.\u00a0New England Patriots<\/a>, 3:25 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 7:\u00a0Sunday, Oct. 19, at\u00a0Chicago Bears<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 8:\u00a0Sunday, Oct. 26, vs.\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, 3:05 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 9:\u00a0Sunday, Nov. 2, at\u00a0Los Angeles Rams<\/a>, 3:05 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 10:\u00a0Sunday, Nov. 9, at\u00a0Carolina Panthers<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 11:\u00a0Bye weekWeek 12:\u00a0Sunday, Nov. 23, vs.\u00a0Atlanta Falcons<\/a>, 3:25 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 13:\u00a0Sunday, Nov. 30, at\u00a0Miami Dolphins<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 14:\u00a0Sunday, Dec. 7, at Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, CBSWeek 15:\u00a0Sunday, Dec. 14, vs. Carolina Panthers, 3:25 p.m. CT, FOXWeek 16:\u00a0Sunday, Dec. 21, vs.\u00a0New York Jets<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, CBSWeek 17:\u00a0Sunday, Dec. 28, at\u00a0Tennessee Titans<\/a>, 12 p.m. CT, CBSWeek 18:\u00a0Sunday, Jan. 4, at Atlanta Falcons, TBDCardinals-Saints game<\/p>\n As mentioned, because the Cardinals and Saints play one another in Week 1, there is no factor for their previous game. Their previous game will have been a preseason finale two weeks prior in which a bunch of non-starters played.<\/p>\n But it is kind of crazy to see that the Saints play NFC West opponents in their first three games of the season. In fact, the Saints are the previous opponents for both the 49ers and the Seahawks<\/a> when they face the Cardinals in Weeks 3 and 4.<\/p>\n Looking at the Saints’ start to the season, an 0-4 start is a real possibility.<\/p>\n Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire’s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
