There are a lot of new bodies on the practice field as well as in a coach's role.
The Super Bowl this year will be held in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium. The game is scheduled for February 14, 2027, and broadcast by ABC, and for the first time on ESPN and its sister stations: ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.

Las Vegas makes its money predicting what others cannot see. And of course, they have already laid odds on this season's Super Bowl. They have also laid down odds for Week 1's matchups and beyond, but the Super Bowl is their day to make bank.
It is estimated that 67.8 million people laid some sort of bet on this past year's Super Bowl, won by the Seattle Seahawks over the New England Patriots. It is considered the nation's most heavily wagered single game of the year. Americans legally wagered an estimated record of $1.76 billion through U.S. sportsbooks. Yeah, that's with a B."
The Arizona Cardinals have the misfortune to be housed in the league's best division, the NFC West. Last year, three of the four division members made the postseason: Seattle (14-3-0), Los Angeles Rams (12-5-0), and the San Francisco 49ers (12-5-0). The Seahawks not only captured the division crown, but was rewarded with the NFC's #1 seed during the playoffs.
The NFC Championship Game featured two of the NFC West's teams as Seattle defeated the Rams 31-27 in a spectacular contest. So naturally, all three of these clubs are entering the 2026 season with good odds to capture the NFL's next crown.
The Rams are the favorites, with Seattle #3, and San Fran at #10. The Cardinals currently sit at #32.
