The Arizona Cardinals schedule will be released on Thursday afternoon at 5 p.m. Arizona time

The Arizona Cardinals have some attractive teams on the home and away schedule in 2017.  On Thursday afternoon we all get to find out when they play them all.

We asked fans on our Twitter page who they were most looking forward to seeing outside of the NFC West.  Of course we all want to see Seattle but the Cardinals are guaranteed to play them twice every year.

The Cardinals will play the NFC East as a whole for the first time since 2014.  They will also play the AFC South for the first time since 2013.  The home and away venues are also switched in 2017 from last time against both divisions.

Overwhelmingly fans want to see the Dallas Cowboys the most.  Dallas has not played in Arizona since the 2011 season.  Overall, the Cowboys have not beaten Arizona since 2006, the Cardinals first season at University of Phoenix Stadium.

We asked people to tell us who they wanted to see if they choose “other”.  We got only one response on that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  I guess it was too much trouble.

Either way, the Cardinals have four different teams coming to Glendale this upcoming season as opposed to 2016.  They include the Cowboys, New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, and Jacksonville Jaguars.

On the road, the Cardinals will visit five different venues as opposed to 2016.  Let’s just all be happy there are no trips to visit the Carolina Panthers or Atlanta Falcons this year, at least in the regular season.
