The Arizona Cardinals report to 2026 training camp at State Farm Stadium on Wednesday, July 22 — among the league’s earliest arrivals because they open the preseason in the Hall of Fame Game — and the first of seven open practices follows almost immediately, Friday, July 24 at 4 p.m. Admission and parking are free, but digital tickets are required: reserve them at azcardinals.com/camp, and they’ll live in the Cardinals mobile app.
This camp is a full reset. It’s the first under head coach Mike LaFleur, hired after the dismal 2025 season cost Jonathan Gannon his job — and the first in seven years without Kyler Murray, released in March and now in Minnesota. LaFleur has already put his stamp on camp logistics, shifting five of the seven open practices to 4 p.m. starts, with the annual Red & White Practice closing the public slate on August 9. All seven sessions run indoors at State Farm Stadium — air-conditioned, a Valley-summer luxury no other NFL camp offers.

How Tickets Work
Free digital tickets via azcardinals.com/camp, accessed through the team app — reserve early, since the team trimmed the public slate from nine sessions to seven this year and the Red & White Practice historically fills first.
Why Camp Starts Early
Hall of Fame Game teams get a head start, and LaFleur needs every day of it: a new staff, a new scheme, a quarterback situation to settle and four preseason games — one more than everyone else — to sort a remade roster.
The Fitzgerald Weekend
This camp builds toward something bigger than football drills: the Hall of Fame Game on August 6 kicks off the enshrinement weekend where Larry Fitzgerald — the greatest Cardinal of them all — enters Canton.
The Bottom Line
Report day Wednesday, free practices from Friday, and the first look at a rebuilt franchise. The rest of the cluster: the fan guide with parking and logistics, position battles, the projected depth chart, rookies to watch and the preseason schedule.
