The NFL has announced its schedule for the final weekend of the regular season, with the Arizona Cardinals set to host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, January 5. The game will kick off at 2:25 p.m. and will be broadcast on Fox.

This matchup does not impact playoff scenarios, which is why it was scheduled for a regular Sunday time slot. The league revealed the full Week 18 schedule following the Washington Commanders' victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. This result also secured the NFC West division title for the Los Angeles Rams.

The game between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, which will decide both the NFC's No. 1 overall seed and the NFC North title, is slated for "Sunday Night Football" as this season's final regular-season game.

Both games featuring NFC West teams—the 49ers at Cardinals and Seahawks at Rams—will occur simultaneously.

On Saturday, two remaining NFC North games will take place: Steelers versus Bengals and Browns against Ravens.

Earlier in Week 5, the Cardinals narrowly defeated the 49ers with a score of 24-23 in San Francisco. The outcome of their upcoming finale could determine whether Arizona finishes third or last in their division if certain conditions are met based on other results.
