"We knew coming into Thursday that the Cowboys would be on the road to take on the New York Giants in the season opener on Sunday Night Football, that Dallas is "hosting" the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil in Week 3, and that the Philadelphia Eagles would be in town for Thanksgiving Day. Now we know it all."
"Among the first things that jump to mind is that bye week is late. Dallas isn't on bye until Week 14, the Sunday of that week is December 13th for full perspective. The Cowboys also only play twice in their own building, thanks to the Brazil game, before November. Sometimes those weird quirks show up in schedules and this is certainly one of them."
"It is interesting to see that the NFL gave Dallas the longest amount of rest possible after their Thanksgiving tilt. It hasn't been uncommon for the league to have the Cowboys play on consecutive Thursdays, but perhaps that is a thing of the past."
The 2026 Dallas Cowboys schedule includes a season opener on the road against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. Dallas hosts the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil in Week 3. The Philadelphia Eagles visit Dallas on Thanksgiving Day. The bye week arrives late, with Dallas not on bye until Week 14, with Sunday falling on December 13. Dallas plays only twice at home before November because the Brazil game removes one home date. After the Thanksgiving game, the NFL provides Dallas the longest possible rest period, and the schedule avoids consecutive Thursday games that have occurred in the past.
