2026 opponents for the Dallas Cowboys have been finalized

[ScotsCowboy]

Road schedule difficult, but not more so than 2025’s.

Home schedule a bit kinder than 2025’s.

Overall, a tad lighter than 2025, but still much harder than 2024.

Not attending any games this year.

the nfc west is a division they play in 26
also in afc they play afc south
+ 2 teams based on other stuff, and our usual div opp.
It will be tough.

The ones you really got screwed on were the Ravens finishing second in the north, and the Bucs finishing second in the South

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

I see 16-1. The one loss is because we rested all our 1st and most of the 2nd string players for the last game.

LOL

 

[75boyz]

Looks like 7-10

If we could win an amazing 7 games for a 3rd year in a row it would almost be as good as those three 5-11 Campo years!

Cowboys!

Good for you because it would probably be a lost based on that schedule.

 

[SellTheTeam]

Way too early reaction: based on this year's teams, we would win 2 road games.

6-10

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

One thing I can probably go ahead and say about the schedule, the first and last game will be away games.

The "other stuff" is to play teams that finished in the same place in their division (2nd). Our extra game from the AFC is against the Ravens because they finished 2nd in their division. We play the Packers and Bucs because they finished 2nd in their divisions.

...with new aggressive DC 10-7 >>> 11-6

With passive DC; Eberjoke type 8-9>> 9-8

 

[big dog cowboy]

Sucks we miss the playoffs and have a brutal schedule next year.

How do we know that?

 

[Cowboys5217]

How do we know that?

Well, it's a who's who of teams we can't seem to ever beat. Only one missing is Denver.

 

[leicafan]

5-12 if we don't replace Schotty. and Dak is getting old, he will get injured again. Another 2-3 years without hopes.

 

[jazzcat22]

RELAX, many of these teams will be different from what they were this season.

 

[jazzcat22]

Get ready for the GB game to be on SNF in December.
The NFL will want Micah healthy for this game. As he may not be ready until then anyway.
And they will want to re-create an Ice Bowl atmosphere.

Also be ready to finish the season with an away game against an NFCE opponent. Probably 2 on the road again, if not, then 2 of 3 on the road.
As we rarely finish the season with home game. And it has been over 25 years, if not more since we finished with 2 home games I believe.

 

[John813]

Ravens again?

Putting that run defense to the test again.

 

[Gameover]

6-11

Home:​

• Philadelphia Eagles
• Washington Commanders
• New York Giants
• Jacksonville Jaguars
• Tennessee Titans
• Baltimore Ravens
• Arizona Cardinals
• San Francisco 49ers
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Away:​

• Philadelphia Eagles
• Washington Commanders
• New York Giants
• Green Bay Packers
• Houston Texans
• Indianapolis Colts
• Seattle Seahawks
• Los Angeles Rams

Seriously - the only team I would consider a lock is Tennessee and if the divisional games are a split we are looking at 5 wins maybe 6 if we don't get swept by the division. Holy cow fatman!

 

[Smith22]

Yeah. The Ravens will most likely fire their DC after an uncharacteristically bad year, and look to fix a leaky defense.

The 49ers were supposed to be in a rebuild this year but instead made the playoffs. They will most likely continue to improve.

I guess we can hope the Seahawks coaching staff gets raided like the Lions was.

 

[plasticman]

Thank goodness we got that "2nd place" schedule. I'd hate to see what 1st place got.
