Dallas Cowboys — Team Overview
The Dallas Cowboys have been one of the most-watched franchises in professional sports since their founding in 1960. Owner Jerry Jones has built AT&T Stadium — a 80,000-seat facility in Arlington, Texas, with a retractable roof and the largest high-definition video screen in an NFL venue — into one of the most recognizable stadiums in the world. The team competes in the NFC East alongside the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, and New York Giants, a division that consistently produces some of the highest-rated regular-season matchups on television.
Dallas Cowboys games regularly draw over 25 million viewers for nationally televised matchups, making them the most-watched team in the NFL for the past decade. Their Thanksgiving Day game alone is a tradition that averages 30+ million viewers annually. This massive audience means Cowboys games are broadcast widely across multiple networks — which actually makes cord-cutting easier than for smaller-market teams.
What Channels Show Cowboys Games?
Cowboys games are distributed across six different broadcast and cable networks during the NFL season. Understanding which channel carries each game is essential for cord-cutters because each streaming service includes a different mix of these channels. Here is the complete breakdown of where Cowboys games air in 2026:
FOX
Primary carrier for NFC games. FOX broadcasts the majority of Cowboys regular-season games — typically 8-10 per season. The Dallas FOX affiliate is KDFW FOX 4.
CBS
Carries cross-conference matchups when the Cowboys play AFC opponents. The Dallas CBS affiliate is KTVT CBS 11, which also serves as the Cowboys' flagship station.
ESPN
Monday Night Football. The Cowboys typically appear on MNF 2-3 times per season due to their massive viewership numbers.
NBC
Sunday Night Football. Cowboys prime-time appearances average 2-3 per season on NBC's flagship NFL broadcast.
Amazon Prime Video
Thursday Night Football. Amazon holds exclusive rights to TNF through 2033. The Cowboys usually appear 1-2 times per season.
NFL Network
Select Saturday games in December, international games, and some Thursday matchups. Also carries NFL Draft, Combine, and preseason games.
NFL Sunday Ticket (YouTube)
Out-of-market games only. If you live outside the Dallas-Fort Worth DMA, Sunday Ticket lets you watch Cowboys games that are not nationally televised. Costs $349/season.
The challenge for cord-cutters is that no single mainstream streaming service carries all of these channels. YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV carry FOX, CBS, ESPN, and NBC but do not include NFL Network in their base packages. Amazon Prime covers Thursday games but nothing else. This fragmentation is exactly why IPTV has become the preferred solution for NFL fans — IPTV USA Canada includes every single one of these channels in a single plan.
Cost Comparison: Ways to Watch
Below is a real cost comparison of every way to watch Dallas Cowboys games without a traditional cable subscription in 2026. Prices reflect current published rates as of April 2026.

To watch every Dallas Cowboys game through mainstream services, you would need YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV ($73-77/month) plus Amazon Prime ($14.99/month) plus NFL Sunday Ticket ($349/season) — totaling over $1,400 per year. IPTV USA Canada delivers all of those channels and more for $49.99/year, a savings of over $1,300.

Why Cowboys Fans Choose IPTV
Cowboys fans outside the Dallas-Fort Worth market face the most frustrating experience in NFL fandom: blackouts, out-of-market restrictions, and a confusing patchwork of services needed to watch every game. IPTV solves all of these problems in one subscription. Here is why tens of thousands of Cowboys fans have already made the switch:
Zero Blackouts
No regional restrictions, no out-of-market blocks. Watch the Cowboys live from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, or anywhere in North America.

FOX, CBS, ESPN, NBC, NFL Network, Amazon Prime feeds, and KTVT CBS 11 — all in a single app. No switching between services.
Massive Savings
Cable costs $85-130/month for NFL coverage. IPTV USA Canada costs $4.17/month. That is over $1,000/year in savings.
All Devices Supported
Watch on your 75-inch TV at home, your phone at work, or your tablet while traveling. Fire Stick, Smart TV, iPhone, Android, PC — all supported.
Preseason Through Playoffs
Every preseason game, all 17 regular-season games, Wild Card, Divisional, NFC Championship, and the Super Bowl — all included.

Your subscription also includes NBA, NHL, MLB, UFC, Premier League, and 20,000+ total channels plus 50,000+ on-demand movies and series.
Watch Cowboys on Any Device

The Gold and Diamond plans allow 2-3 simultaneous streams, so multiple people in your household can watch different games or channels at the same time. One screen can show the Cowboys on FOX while another shows RedZone on NFL Network — something that would require multiple cable boxes at $10-15 each per month.
