That latest news surrounding the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas’ 2025 schedule will be one for the history books.
The Dallas Cowboys’ 2025 NFL regular season is set, and it’s shaping up to be a wild one. The NFL schedule makers made sure that Dallas lived up to its America’s Team moniker with six primetime games, including the regular season opener.
Dallas will also take the field and headline the Thanksgiving and Christmas Day slate of games.
But, there’s another interesting note. The Cowboys’ regular season schedule is a historic one. For the first time in NFL history, a team will be playing four Thursday games in the same year, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
Dallas takes the field on Thursday for the regular season opener, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a high-profile NFC clash in the second half of the season that falls in one of the team’s brutal four-game stretches.
The Cowboys’ full Thursday night lineup can be seen below, with home games in bold.

Eight standalone games is also tied for the most in any one NFL season for a single team in the 21st Century as the 2025 Cowboys, Chiefs and Commanders are tied with the 2024 Baltimore Ravens, 2024 Chiefs, 2023 Buffalo Bills and 2022 Green Bay Packers for that distinction, per CBS Sports Research.
While the NFL certainly loves giving Dallas the island game spotlight, that will also be a double-edged sword for the Cowboys in 2025. Dallas will be home against the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3 in 2024), home against the Chiefs (15-2 in 2024), at the Detroit Lions (15-2 in 2024), home against the Minnesota Vikings (14-3), home against the Los Angeles Chargers (11-6 in 2024) and at the Commanders (12-5 in 2024) from Weeks 12-17. ...
