Dallas Cowboys 2026 opponents

The NFL has a rotational schedule system that dictates who each teams play in a given year. The entire NFC East will play the NFC West and AFC South in 2026. Dallas finished in second place in their own division so they will also play the second-place finishers from the NFC North, NFC South, and AFC North. 2026 will mark a year in which each NFC team has an extra home game, for Dallas that “extra” contest is their AFC North game.

There are eight games in total that will come against teams that are in this season’s playoff field which will make things interesting to say the least. Arguably the most interesting game of the group is the road contest that Dallas will play at Lambeau Field as it will mark their second time squaring off against Micah Parsons, but the first away from AT&T Stadium.
