Eagles will play Cowboys in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day in 2026
Ahead of their official schedule release later this week, the Eagles announced that they’ll be traveling to Dallas in Week 12 to take on the rival Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. The actual date of the game is Thursday, Nov. 26.
The Cowboys play every year on Thanksgiving, so it’s no surprise for them or their fans. However, the Eagles play on the holiday far less often.
The contest will be just the eighth all-time game on Thanksgiving for Philadelphia and the third ever game against Dallas on the holiday. The last Thanksgiving matchup between Philadelphia and Dallas came back in 2014. The Eagles won that game 33-30.

Overall, The Eagles are 6-1 all-time on Thanksgiving. They’ll look to make it 7-1 later this year.
