Cardinals-Rams set for afternoon kickoff in NFL Week 18 schedule

The Arizona Cardinals’ season finale against the Los Angeles Rams will kick off at 2:25 p.m. MST on Sunday and air on FOX.

The NFL solidified its Week 18 schedule late Saturday, and it places Arizona (3-13) on the road and facing an 11-4 team that is looking at a Wild Card spot.

That’s because the 13-3 Seattle Seahawks and 12-4 San Francisco 49ers are ahead of the Rams in the NFC West. They are facing one another in their respective finales for the top seed in the NFC.

Meanwhile, Arizona will be eyeing a feel-good upset win that will impact its positioning for the 2026 NFL Draft.
