The Dallas Cowboys' season came to a disappointing end on Sunday afternoon, falling to the division rival New York Giants to finish the season at 7-9-1.

Dallas will now turn its attention to the NFL offseason and NFL Draft, looking to improve the roster and make changes to the coaching staff that can set the team up for success moving forward.

While the Cowboys won't be taking the field again until the fall, we do know who their opponents will be following the conclusion of the regular season.

The CoTwboys will play each NFC East rival twice, the NFC West, the AFC South, and second-place finishers in the from the NFC North and AFC North.

The schedule breaks down to nine home games and eight games on the road, though there have been rumblings that the Cowboys could play an international game in 2026, potentially in Mexico.

Let's hope that the team is in a better position entering Brian Schottenheimer's sophomore season as head coach and can return to the postseason after a two-year hiatus. Of course, it will all start with re-signing key players in the offseason, and making the most out of the team's two first-round picks.

The 2026 NFL Draft will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from Thursday, April 23, through Saturday, April 25.
