FRISCO, Texas — The time is here. Start planning the road trips, the home game tailgates, the Thanksgiving parties. The full 2024 Dallas Cowboys schedule is here.
The season kicks off on Sept. 8 when the Cowboys will make their first trip to Cleveland since 2016 to take on the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Myles Garrett, and the Browns. The team will then return to Arlington for a back-to-back homestretch against New Orleans and Baltimore to open up the slate at AT&T Stadium.
The first of seven primetime games will follow with a Thursday night trip to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants in week four followed by a trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers on Sunday Night Football in week five.
The final game before the bye week will see the Cowboys host the Detroit Lions in a rematch of one of the more exciting matchups of 2023 between top NFC squads. For the second season in a row, the Cowboys will take their bye in week seven.
Fourteen days will pass in preparation for the Cowboys’ return to Levi’s Stadium in week eight to take on the San Francisco 49ers in a Sunday Night Football rematch of last year’s 42-10 loss in week five.
The November and December stretch of the season will see the Cowboys take on just three playoff opponents, including a Monday Night Football clash against the Houston Texans in week 11, a Sunday Night Football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 16 and the two annual clashes with the Philadelphia Eagles – the first coming at home in week 10 and the latter coming on the road in week 17.
The team’s annual 3:30 p.m. Thanksgiving game will see the divisional rival Giants come into AT&T Stadium.
