Dallas Cowboys 2026 Schedule Leaks
Cowboys at Giants in Week 1
The league announced Monday that the Cowboys and New York Giants will meet at MetLife Stadium on Sunday Night Football.
It really wouldn't feel like an NFL season without Dallas and New York squaring off in Week 1. Dating back to the 2012 opener, the league has matched these division rivals up eight times in the last 15 seasons to kick off the year.
The Cowboys have won 11 of their last 12 meetings with the Giants, and the lone loss came in Week 18 last season when Dallas rested starters for much of the game. If history is any indication, Dak Prescott and Co. should welcome another season-opening clash with New York.
Cowboys vs. Ravens in Week 3 (Brazil)
The league announced that the Cowboys will face the Baltimore Ravens on September 27 in the NFL's first-ever game in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Set for a 3:25 p.m. CT kickoff on CBS, the game will be played at the iconic Marcanã Stadium, which has hosted multiple World Cup finals.
After initially dipping its toes into taking the game abroad, the NFL has fully embraced its global expansion, scheduling a record nine overseas games next season. It was only a matter of time before the Cowboys, who hadn't played outside the country since 2014, got involved.
Cowboys vs. Eagles in Week 12 (Thanksgiving)
Believe it or not, this is the first time the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will play on Thanksgiving since 2014. Unfortunately, Philadelphia blew the doors of Dallas 27-0.
The Cowboys have fared much better on the holiday of late, however, winning their last four games, including last year's 31-28 thrilling victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. With 57.23 million average views, it is the NFL's most-watched regular-season game ever.
