The 2025 NFL schedule has arrived. With that, the Dallas Cowboys have their official slate for the upcoming season.
Dallas is coming off a disappointing 7-10 campaign, in which quarterback Dak Prescott missed the second half of the season with a hamstring injury. Prescott is back, and there’s an abundance of new around him. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer is entering his first season at the helm. In terms of additions, the notables are receiver George Pickens, running back Javonte Williams and defensive end Dante Fowler Jr.
The Cowboys have their eyes on a return to the postseason. Here’s who they’ll have to go through to get there:
Week 1: at Philadelphia Eagles, Sept. 4, 4:25 p.m. ET (NBC)
Week 2: TBD
Week 3: TBD
Week 4: TBD

Week 17: at Washington Commanders, Dec. 25

As is the standard, it’s a lot of Cowboys in primetime and of course, a Thanksgiving Day home game. It will be Dallas’ 58th game on Thanksgiving Day and it’s a marquee matchup against winners of three of the last six Super Bowls in the Chiefs.
But what will ultimately decide their fate is how they perform in those six divisional contests. The reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles remain loaded, while the Commanders are out to prove that last year’s run to the NFC Championship Game was no fluke. The Giants, meanwhile, continue to be in a rebuild of sorts, but the pressure is on to win games.
But if there’s one thing we know about the NFC East, expect chaos. There has not been a team win the division in back-to-back seasons since the Eagles from 2001-04. The Cowboys won this division in 2023, and they want the crown back in 2025.
