The Arizona Cardinals will face the Dallas Cowboys in a pivotal Week 8 matchup, kicking off at 1 p.m. ET (11 a.m. Arizona time) from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This contest marks a significant shift in the Cardinals’ television exposure, as the game will air on FOX, guaranteeing a far larger national audience than the team has experienced in previous weeks. Unlike their recent slate of games, which drew limited local viewership, this early Sunday slot positions the Cardinals for maximum visibility across the country.
Arizona faces Dallas in a rare national broadcast, expanding reach far beyond the Southwest.
According to data from 506 Sports, the FOX broadcast will reach a substantial portion of the United States, covering nearly every TV market in the nation. While FOX is airing only five games this Sunday—four in the early slot and one in the late afternoon—the Cardinals-Cowboys matchup is slated for the blue areas on the coverage map. This strategic placement ensures the game is accessible to fans well beyond the traditional Arizona and Texas home markets, creating a broader platform for the team’s performance.
Geographically, the broadcast will dominate the South and Southwest, with full coverage in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. Additionally, the signal extends to much of the Southern United States and several states along the East Coast, allowing a diverse fan base to tune in. For the Cardinals, this expanded reach offers a critical opportunity to build momentum and attract new supporters, turning a standard regular-season game into a national event with significant implications for their season-long narrative.
