What channel is the Browns-Cowboys game on today? How to watch Week 1 clash
By Jerry Trotta
The Dallas Cowboys were given a unique Week 1 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. It has been over a decade (2011 vs. the Jets!) since the Cowboys opened the season against an AFC team. With a suffocating defense and an elite rushing attack, albeit one that won't have star running back Nick Chubb, the Browns are an excellent litmus test for Dallas.
Not only is Cleveland 18-14 all-time against the Cowboys, but they have the most recent bragging rights. The last time these teams met in 2020, the Browns won a 49-38 barnburner that featured over 1,000 combined yards of offense.
With both clubs' sights set on the playoffs and winning their respective divisions, this game has huge importance. It is the first game after a laborious offseason, so fans won't want to miss a second of the action.

For those outside of the Dallas and Cleveland area, you can find a list of FOX providers and their respective channels behind this link. Don't be alarmed by the DIRECTV destination. It offers channels regardless of your television provider.
It is fitting that the Cowboys will start the campaign on America's Game of the Week. Last season, it felt like Dallas was a weekly fixture on FOX's late afternoon slot.
This game is an especially big deal as it will mark Tom Brady's debut as the network's lead color analyst alongside play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt. Brady replaces Greg Olsen after inking a monstrous 10-year, $375 million contract with FOX.
How to stream Browns vs. Cowboys
Those who do not have a cable subscription can find a live stream of the game. Fubo will carry a stream and even offers a free one-week trial to new users. Additionally, YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV are alternative streaming options.
Kickoff from Cleveland Browns Stadium is scheduled for 3:25 CT. Be sure to sort out you're viewing method ahead of time so you aren't scrambling to find a channel or live stream minutes before game time. Just because players and coaches might have some rust doesn't mean Cowboys fans can't be at the top of their game.
