The Cardinals have not played on Thursday night since 2022.
The Arizona Cardinals will announce their full 2025 regular-season schedule Wednesday evening at 5 p.m. Arizona time, but we have our first real leak for their schedule, and it involves a prime-time game against an NFC West opponent.
According to Johnny Venerable and Bo Brack of PHNX, the Cardinals will play the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4 at State Farm Stadium in a Thursday night game.
The Cardinals had two prime-time games last season. One wasn’t even a game that everyone could watch. It was a Week 7 ESPN+ Monday night game that was opposite the regular ABC/ESPN broadcast of another game. The other was a Saturday night game against the LA Rams in Week 17.
If this leak proves true, it would be their first Thursday night game since 2022 against the New Orleans Saints.
An extra note about this potential matchup is that it will perhaps be the debut of the new “Rivalries” uniforms that will be designed for this season.
