The Dallas Cowboys are once again set to dominate the primetime spotlight in 2026, with "America's Team" earning a packed schedule of evening games that fans won't want to miss.

Last season, the Cowboys had six primetime matchups—second only to the Kansas City Chiefs' seven. This year, Dallas is again among the NFL's leaders in high-profile games, proving that the star power of this franchise remains as bright as ever.

Even before the full 18-week schedule was released, the Cowboys already had one primetime date locked in. On May 11, the league and NBC announced that Dallas would face the New York Giants in the first "Sunday Night Football" game of the season—a classic rivalry under the lights to kick things off.

Beyond the extra attention that comes with being "America's Team," the 2026 Cowboys are expected to be an exciting squad. The 2025 team finished second in the NFL in total offensive yards and seventh in points per game. However, their defense was the worst in the league at preventing opponents from scoring. After an offseason focused on upgrading the defensive side of the ball, Dallas is ready to test its revamped roster in primetime early and often.

Here's a look at the Cowboys' 2026 primetime schedule:

Week 1: Sunday Night Football at New York Giants
Week 3: Monday Night Football vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Week 6: Sunday Night Football at San Francisco 49ers
Week 9: Thursday Night Football vs. Washington Commanders
Week 12: Sunday Night Football vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Week 15: Saturday Night Football at Miami Dolphins

With six primetime games, the Cowboys will be a constant presence on the national stage. Whether you're cheering from the stands or watching from home, this is a season built for the spotlight—and for fans who love to rep their team in style.
