While the Dallas Cowboys’ full schedule for the 2025 NFL season has yet to be released, two of their high-profile matchups have been revealed ahead of Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

America’s team will open the season Sept. 4 with a rivalry match against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles that will stream on Peacock from Lincoln Financial Field.<\/p>\n

Twelve weeks after meeting the defending champions, the Cowboys will face the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day. Dallas has been a staple on Thanksgiving since 1966, except in 1975 and 1977 when the league experimented with different teams for the holiday.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys will host Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co. in Arlington, Texas, for Kansas City’s first Thanksgiving game since 2006. The Chiefs boast a 5-5 Thanksgiving record while Dallas is 34-22-1 on the holiday.<\/p>\n

The game will also mark Patrick Mahomes’ first start at AT&T Stadium, with the game available on CBS and Paramount Plus.<\/p>\n

After making postseason appearances for three straight years, the Cowboys missed the playoffs last season after finishing with a 7-10 record.<\/p>\n

The disastrous season led owner Jerry Jones to make some changes, including acquiring wide receiver George Pickens<\/a> from Pittsburgh. This season will also mark the first campaign for new head coach Brian Schottenheimer after Mike McCarthy’s five-year tenure came to an end in January.<\/p>\n
