News: Dallas Cowboys release 2026 official schedule

[loublue22]

our bye is in mid december? is that the last week they even have byes?

Tough schedule this year no matter how it fell.

Favorable final month IMO, all things considered.

10-7, 11-6 likely the ceiling. 6-7 wins likely the floor. Gotta steal a few upsets and avoid losing any gimmes to even have a shot.

Damn going to Seattle on a Monday night is tough

But we'll at least have extra days before that game.

I'm surprised they gave us a home game before Thanksgiving. They usually like to send us on the road as punishment for being at home on Thanksgiving.

Nice also that we play at home on a Thursday night before having to travel to Green Bay the next week.

Don't like ending the season at Washington because of the cold (would rather switch the away game to the first meeting), but at least we don't have other cold-weather games at the end of the year.

Frankly, I think they should have given us Houston at home after the Brazil trip.

The last time we had a bye this late was in 1990. When we were about to enter a dynasty.

Weird how history repeats itself.

Not as many sure fire national games this year. But more 1pm ET games than usual. I miss direct tv having the sunday ticket.

Realistically, as it stands right now, how many games does Dallas have a true head coaching advantage? I only see two: Arizona and Tennessee.

Yes it is

 

[skinsscalper]

Oof. Not huge fan of the week 14 bye but it is what it is. Hopefully we'll be close to punching a ticket to the dance at that point.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

We got two weeks to get ready for the Rams....this should be a good thing but seems like recently it hasn't..

 

[mperfection]

7 - you missed the turkey-day game against Philly.

Just me, but I'd rather use QB advantage.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I actually love the late bye........as Parcell would say, you wanna play your best ball after Thanksgiving. December is when players start feeling a bit of wear and tear. The late bye gives them a chance to reset during a critical time of a playoff run.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

The Commanders' first 3 games (Eagles, Cowboys, and Seahawks) are brutal. Quinn could start 0-3, which is never good.

I guess the days of the NFL staying off high school and college Friday and Saturday are over...lol

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

17-0.

9-8, no play offs.

 

[Zekeats]

That week 14 bye sucks

12-5 in my heart
10-7 in my head

So you have emotional and mental problems. Great.

 

[Zekeats]

That’s why it doesn’t bother me. We usually get one near mid season.

It should, we basically get a bye week after our thanksgiving bye week.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Sleep well. See you tomorrow.

Easy schedule. Go Cowboys!

Its crazy because every publication shows its one of the NFLs toughest schedule. Which schedule were you referring to thats easy?
