The NFL has one last event to do this offseason before training camps come around. That is to release the 2026 NFL schedule. They will do that on Thursday, May 14th.
We already know who are opponents will be based on the regular rotation formula the NFL has employed for a while. This year the Cowboys will play their NFC East opponents twice, the AFC South once, the NFC West once, and have single games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Baltimore Ravens and the Green Bay Packers. You can see the home and away split below.
Having to play the NFC West is a tough ask this year. The World Champion Seattle Seahawks, and two teams that are expected to be strong contenders in the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, are on the schedule.
We should be getting leaks and rumors about the schedule this week which we will track and update here.
* The Cowboys [will open the season](/dallas-cowboys-game-information/205048/schedule-giants-opponent-week-1-sunday-night) on the road on Sunday night at the N.Y. Giants.
* Dallas [will ‘host’](/dallas-cowboys-history/204835/history-international-game-look-back) the Ravens in Brazil for Week 3.
