# 2023 Arizona Cardinals season

The 2023 season was the Arizona Cardinals' 104th season in the National Football League (NFL) and the first under new head coach Jonathan Gannon and general manager Monti Ossenfort. The Cardinals matched their 4–13 record from the previous year after an upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17. The team also introduced new uniforms for the first time since the 2005 season.
For the first time since 2019, DeAndre Hopkins was not on the roster as he was released in the offseason.
After their Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans, they were guaranteed their second consecutive losing season. After another loss to the Los Angeles Rams the next week, they suffered their second consecutive double digit losing season. After losing to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15, the Cardinals were eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive season.
The Arizona Cardinals drew an average home attendance of 62,864 in 8 home games in the 2023 NFL season.

## Offseason
### Head coach

The Cardinals fired fourth year head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who led the Cardinals to playoffs in 2021 and had been signed to a 5-year contract extension 10 months prior, on January 9. On February 14, two days after Super Bowl LVII concluded, the Cardinals hired former Philadelphia Eagles' defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon as the team's new head coach. He was the last new head coach hired for the NFL before the 2023 NFL season began after being one of the first teams to search for a new head coach.

### General manager

Tenth year general manager Steve Keim stepped down on January 9, following a tenure that had included the drafting of Pro Bowlers D. J. Humphries and Kyler Murray, and All-Pros Haason Reddick and Budda Baker. On January 16 the Cardinals hired former Tennessee Titans director of player personnel Monti Ossenfort as their new general manager.

### Uniforms

On April 20, the Cardinals unveiled new uniforms. A large "Arizona" word mark is spread across the top of the numbers on the home uniform and does not appear on the away or alternate uniforms. The home uniform's numbers are accented with a silver outline and forgoes a sleeve pattern included on the alternate and away jerseys. The white uniform featured red numbers with black trim, and red and silver stripes along the pants and sleeves. Black remains the primary color of the alternate uniform. Its numbers are red with a silver outline. The helmet was modified to feature silver facemasks and silver reflective flakes on the shell, similar to their alternate helmet's red flakes. The helmet also includes larger holographic team logos included on either side.
