The 2026 Dallas Cowboys Schedule includes one of the most unique regular season games in NFL history — a trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to face the Baltimore Ravens at Maracanã Stadium. That alone makes this schedule unlike anything Dallas has played before. Add Thanksgiving at home against Philadelphia, a Sunday Night opener at the Giants, and a loaded NFC East rivalry calendar, and this is a season worth paying close attention to from the first snap.
