Arizona Cardinals to Return to Mexico in 2020
The Arizona Cardinals will return to Mexico as the home team for the first time since they played in the NFL’s inaugural international regular-season game against the San Francisco 49ers in 2005. It will be the fifth regular-season game played in Mexico at Estadio Azteca.
“We are incredibly excited to be returning to Estadio Azteca where we had such a positive experience in 2005,” said Cardinals Chairman and President Michael Bidwill. “The Cardinals are very appreciative of the support we receive from fans in Mexico and look forward to a tremendous experience.”
Additional game details, including the visiting team, date and kickoff time, will be released at a later date.
