The Arizona Cardinals are 2-4 in the 2026 season. Outside the playoff picture, 13th in the NFC. They have won no Super Bowl in 1 appearance. Their last playoff appearance was the 2021 season and their last playoff win came in the 2015 season.
Arizona's only Super Bowl came after the 2008 season, when Kurt Warner's 9-7 Cardinals won three playoff games and led Pittsburgh with 2:37 left in Super Bowl XLIII before Santonio Holmes's catch beat them 27-23. The franchise's last league title was 1947, as the Chicago Cardinals.
The Cardinals have made the playoffs once in the last nine seasons, a 34-11 Wild Card loss to the Rams in January 2022, and have missed the postseason in each of the last four years. The last playoff win was the 2015 Divisional Round, a 26-20 overtime thriller against Green Bay settled by Larry Fitzgerald.
