Preseason

The Cardinals' preseason opponents and schedule will be announced in the spring.

Regular season

2021 opponents

Listed below are the Cardinals' opponents for 2021. The length of the season is contingent on whether the league and the National Football League Players Association agree to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games. If this happens, a 17th game would match the Cardinals against a interconference opponent from one of the three divisions from the AFC that the Cardinals are not scheduled to play in 2021, which will be based on division placement from 2020.[1]

Exact dates and times will be announced in the spring.

Category	Home	Away
Division opponents (NFC West)	Los Angeles Rams San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks
Conference opponents (NFC North)	Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings	Chicago Bears Detroit Lions
Conference opponents (based on 2020 division placement)	Carolina Panthers	Dallas Cowboys
Interconference opponents (AFC South)	Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts	Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee Titans
