FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys will once again be front and center on the NFL stage in 2026.
The league released its full regular-season schedule Thursday, featuring at least seven national television appearances for Dallas, including six prime-time matchups and the franchise’s annual Thanksgiving Day game at AT&T Stadium.
The Cowboys will face eight games against seven playoff teams from 2025, including Green Bay, Baltimore, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle.
Dallas opens the season Sept. 13 on the road against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football before hosting Washington in Week 2. In Week 3, the Cowboys travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the NFL’s first regular-season game in Rio against the Baltimore Ravens.
One of the toughest stretches of the season comes in October with three straight prime-time games against Tampa Bay, Green Bay and Philadelphia.
The Cowboys will also host the Eagles on Thanksgiving Day before closing the season with nationally televised matchups against Seattle and Jacksonville later in the year.
With another spotlight-filled schedule, Dallas enters 2026 as one of the NFL’s main attractions once again.
