Cowboys Make History with 2025 NFL Schedule

May 15, 2025 – The Dallas Cowboys solidify their status as the NFL’s premier brand, valued at $10.1 billion, making them the world’s most valuable sports franchise according to Forbes (December 2024). Following the NFL schedule release, the Cowboys secured six primetime games, including matchups against the Philadelphia Eagles (Week 1), Green Bay (Week 4), Arizona (Week 9), Raiders (Week 11), Detroit (Week 14), and Vikings (Week 15), plus nationally televised games on Thanksgiving (vs. Chiefs) and Christmas (vs. Commanders).

In a historic first, the Cowboys will play four Thursday night games in a single season, scheduled for Week 1 (at Philly), Week 13 (vs. Kansas City), Week 14 (at Detroit), and Week 17 (at Washington). While Thursday games typically pose challenges due to limited recovery and preparation time, the Cowboys benefit from their Week 1 game being the season opener and the back-to-back Weeks 13-14 games allowing both teams a full week to prepare post-Thanksgiving.

The season kicks off on September 4 in Philadelphia and concludes against the New York Giants in Week 18. The highly anticipated Thanksgiving clash with the Kansas City Chiefs on November 27 is set to be a major highlight.
