The Arizona Cardinals just dropped their full 2026-27 schedule, and while they’re hyping a “new era” with head coach Mike LaFleur and a fresh face at quarterback, all us Emerald City faithful are locking in on two specific dates. That’s right, the Seahawks are hitting the field against these desert birds twice this season: Sunday, September 20th and Sunday, November 8th. You know Mike Macdonald’s squad, led by Sam Darnold and our explosive wideouts Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp, will be ready to make a statement in both matchups.
The First Strike at Home
First up, the Cardinals roll into our house on Sunday, September 20th, for a 4:25 p.m. Fox kickoff. This is their Week 2 game, and for them, it’s their chance to show off their “new era” right out of the gate against a key divisional rival. They’re banking on this new quarterback to become a “breakout star” and take the team to “new heights,” but they haven’t faced the roar of the 12s yet. Plenty of questions surround their new leadership, and those questions are going to get answered real quick when Coach Macdonald and offensive coordinator Brian Fleury have our guys dialed in. This isn’t just another game for us, it’s an early test to establish dominance and remind Arizona who runs the NFC West.
The Glendale Takeover
Then, we take the show on the road. On Sunday, November 8th, the Seahawks head down to Glendale for another 4:25 p.m. Fox showdown at State Farm Stadium. This is Week 9 for them, and by then, we’ll have a good read on how LaFleur’s new-look Cardinals are performing. State Farm Stadium, completed in 2006, holds 63,400 fans but can expand to 73,000 for big events. You know our 12s will make that trip, too, turning that place into Lumen South and making sure even in Arizona, “games are a whole lot more fun with the [Seahawks] faithful in the stands.” Planning to join the takeover? Parking passes are highly recommended in advance via StubHub, which is also where you can grab tickets to either of these critical matchups, or any Cardinals game. Every order on StubHub is 100% guaranteed, so you can confidently lock in your spot to witness the Seahawks put on a clinic.
So, while the Cardinals are talking big about their new QB and coach, we know what’s really important. The season officially kicks into high gear for us on September 20th when they roll into our house, and then again on November 8th down in Glendale. Don’t miss a single snap. Get ready, because the Seahawks are coming for them, twice.
