The Dallas Cowboys are sitting at 3-5 after eight weeks of play, a tough start for a squad that management expected to exceed expectations under Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer in his second season. This team was supposedly “due for a breakout showing,” but right now, there’s some serious work to do in Dallas.
Dallas’ Tough Start and the Road Ahead
The Cowboys are battling hard, but their 2026 campaign is off to a rocky 3-5 start. They kicked things off with a 28-20 loss to the Giants, then rallied for a 37-20 win against the Commanders. A narrow 34-31 defeat to the Ravens was followed by a 34-30 victory over the Texans. But then came back-to-back losses, falling 24-16 to the Buccaneers and 23-13 to the Packers. They bounced back with a dominant 38-21 win against the Eagles before an agonizing 33-30 overtime loss to the Cardinals in Week 8.
Looking at the upcoming calendar, the Cowboys head to the Colts for a 1 p.m. ET game on Fox in Week 9. After that, they have a crucial home stretch at AT&T Stadium, hosting the 49ers in Week 10 at 4:25 p.m. ET on Fox, then the Titans in Week 11 at 1 p.m. ET on Fox. That home stand continues with a Thanksgiving showdown against the Eagles in Week 12, kicking off at 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox.
Then, for the Emerald City faithful, mark your calendars: Week 13 brings the Cowboys to Lumen Field to face our beloved Seahawks on Monday, December 7, for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff on ESPN. That’s a huge primetime matchup for the 12s!
Catching the Action: Tickets and Game Day
If you’re a Cowboys fan and still believe in that “breakout showing,” tickets to every single game in the 2026-27 season are available right now on StubHub. Every order is 100% guaranteed, so you know you’re getting in. This team needs its faithful fans, especially if they are going to turn this season around.
AT&T Stadium itself is a beast, opened back in 2009, seating a massive 80,000 fans, making it one of the largest venues in the entire league. That means it gets absolutely bonkers on game day, especially with parking. Pro-tip: grab your parking passes on StubHub ahead of time to avoid that game day chaos. You do not want to miss a snap stuck in traffic.
The Cowboys have a bye week in Week 14, then head to the Rams for a 4:25 p.m. ET game on CBS in Week 15. They’re back home for Week 16, hosting the Jaguars at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, then the Giants in Week 17 at 1 p.m. ET on Fox. Their season wraps up on the road against the Commanders in Week 18, with the date and time still TBD. It’s a long road ahead for Schottenheimer’s squad, and they’ll need every bit of that Dallas faithful behind them to turn this 3-5 start into a memorable season.
