​The Arizona Cardinals will again face the New Orleans Saints in 2026, marking a rematch from the previous year. The Week 16 matchup will take place on the road for the Cardinals, and the Saints arrive with a roster that looks noticeably different from last season, including a new starting quarterback since the teams last met.
