The Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants meet in the season’s opening game on Sunday, September 13, 2026. MetLife Stadium is the venue for this iconic matchup.
Looking back at last season, the Giants finished with a 4-13 record. They fired Brian Daboll and hired John Harbaugh as head coach. Jaxson Dart will start at quarterback, with Cam Skattebo behind him at running back.
Malik Nabers is recovering from an injury, and there’s a 50-50 chance of playing a few snaps. Moreover, veteran Odell Beckham Jr. is back on the main team after a long time. He replaces Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins. The G-Men also boast exciting rookie Malachi Fields on offense and top-10 pick Arvell Reese on their defensive line.
As for the Cowboys, their 2025 season ended in a disappointing 7-10 record. While Dak Prescott, George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, and Javonte Williams made for an exciting watch on offense, the defense gave up more than 500 points in 17 games. Jerry Jones appointed former Philadelphia and Denver defensive employee Christian Parker as the defensive play caller. Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, and Rashan Gary are the veteran presence on the front lines.
LB DeMarvion Overshown is finally healthy. Dallas also drafted former Michigan Wolverine Jaishawn Barham. But the offseason’s biggest additions were former Ohio State star safety Caleb Downs and two-time Super Bowl champion edge Von Miller.
On Sunday, the Giants and the Cowboys will lock horns for the 129th time in history. The Cowboys are 11-2 in the previous 13 games. Dak Prescott is 2-0 against the Giants in week one. Prescott is also 14-3 against the Giants in his career.

Predicted Lineup for the 2026 Week 1 fixture between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants
Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Javonte Williams, Ryan Flournoy, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Guyton, TJ Bass, Tyler Booker, Terrence Steele, Quinnen Williams, Rashan Gary, Kenny Clark, DeMarvion Overshown, Donovan Ezeiruaku, Daron Bland, Jalen Thompson, Caelen Carson, Caleb Downs, and Brandon Aubrey (kicker).

Why can the Dallas Cowboys win?
Dak Prescott had a 94.1 passer rating, 431 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception across 2 games against the Giants last season. He’s expected to continue his hot streak. CeeDee Lamb has 71 catches for 975 yards and has scored 5 touchdowns in 12 outings. George Pickens had 1420+ yards and 9 touchdowns last year. The Cowboys just need to outscore the Giants.
However, they will be without All-Pro guard Tyler Smith, who underwent surgery. TJ Bass will start in his place.
Why can the New York Giants win?
Malik Nabers’ availability will be a game-day decision. Unless he starts, they have to rely on Beckham and rookie Fields. Jaxson Dart is expected to pick up where he left off last year. In 12 games, Dart had 2700+ all-purpose yards and 24 total touchdowns in 12 starts. The Giants went 4-8 with Dart under center, but that’s mostly because the defense threw a lot of games.
John Harbaugh will lean on star OLB Brian Burns, who earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections in 2025 after racking up 67 tackles and 16.5 sacks. They will miss Dexter Lawrence, who was traded to the Bengals.
