The move sees the betting company expand into Arizona, where it plans to bring its platform online once legalised sports betting launches in the state.
It has also teamed up with the locally-based Gila River Hotels and Casinos, which has had a long-term partnership with the Cardinals.
Michael Bidwill, the Cardinals owner, said: "This is a tremendous opportunity to build upon our long-standing relationship with Gila River and launch a new one with BetMGM.
“BetMGM’s expertise in this emerging space will provide a new and innovative way to engage and interact with our fans."
