The NFL announced Friday that the Arizona Cardinals will host an NFL International Series game at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City during the upcoming campaign. The Cardinals last played in Mexico City in 2005.

The Eagles are candidates for the matchup in Mexico City because they are already scheduled to be road opponents of the Cardinals this season. Instead of playing in Glendale, Arizona, the Eagles could be forced to use their passports and travel abroad.

The Eagles last played overseas during the 2018 season. The Eagles defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London, 24-18, in a Week 8 battle. Philadelphia was the road opponent in that matchup as well.

The NFL has yet to announce a date or time for the Cardinals’ matchup in Mexico City. The NFL schedule is expected to be released in mid-April.

Estadio Azteca has hosted one game during each of the past three seasons, including last year’s matchup between the eventual Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Los Angeles Chargers.

NFL International Series games are typically highlighted on national television, so the potential Cardinals-Eagles matchup could have a prime-time feel. The Eagles won their last matchup against the Cardinals in 2017, 34-7, at Lincoln Financial Field.
