You can watch Dallas Cowboys games on major broadcast channels (FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC/ESPN) with either traditional TV or several live TV streaming services, plus a few NFL-specific options that depend on whether you’re in the Dallas market or out of market.

Key Ways to Watch (Quick Scoop)

  • Local TV with an over‑the‑air antenna for FOX and CBS if you’re in Cowboys territory (most Sunday afternoon games).
  • NBC and ESPN/ABC for Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football games.
  • Amazon Prime Video for Thursday Night Football when the Cowboys are scheduled there.
  • Streaming services that bundle all or most of these channels:
    • Fubo (CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, ABC, NFL Network in most markets).
* Hulu + Live TV (NBC, FOX, CBS, ESPN, ABC; includes Disney+ and ESPN+).

* YouTube TV (full NFL channel coverage, plus access to NFL Sunday Ticket for out‑of‑market fans).

* DIRECTV STREAM (local Cowboys channels and many regional sports networks in Texas).

* Paramount+ for CBS games only (useful if your local CBS carries the Cowboys that week).

If you just want “turn it on and go,” a live TV streaming bundle with FOX, CBS, NBC and ESPN (like Fubo, Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV) will cover nearly every Cowboys game in a season.

In-Market vs Out-of-Market

  • In the Dallas/Fort Worth area
    • Key channels: KDFW FOX 4, KTVT CBS 11, KXAS NBC 5, plus ESPN/ABC.
* Any service that carries those locals (Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DIRECTV STREAM) will show almost every Cowboys game live.
  • Other Texas cities (e.g., Austin)
    • Games often air on the local FOX/CBS (for Austin: KTBC FOX 7, KEYE CBS 42), and the same live TV streamers carry those feeds.
  • Out-of-market fans (different state/region)
    • Regular Sunday afternoon games: need NFL Sunday Ticket (add‑on with YouTube TV) to guarantee access every week.
* National games (SNF, MNF, TNF, most playoff games) still show on NBC, ESPN/ABC, Amazon, FOX, or CBS nationwide.

Current Season & Schedule Guides

  • Online TV‑schedule pages list:
    • Which network is airing each Cowboys game.
    • Kickoff time and whether it’s national or regional coverage.
  • Sports sites and streaming guides keep updated “Cowboys TV schedule” pages for the 2025 season, including holiday games on Thanksgiving and Christmas, plus playoff coverage on CBS, FOX, ABC/ESPN, and Peacock (for some NBC games).

Forum & Fan Discussion Angle

On Cowboys fan forums, people trade tips like:

  • “Just get Fubo or YouTube TV if you want every game without overthinking it.”
  • “NFL Sunday Ticket is the cleanest route if you’re not in Cowboys territory.”
  • Jokes about “watching with a paper bag over your head” or “with trepidation” when the team is in one of its roller‑coaster phases.

In other words, the practical answer: use FOX/CBS over the air if you’re local, or a full sports streaming bundle plus (if needed) NFL Sunday Ticket if you’re not — and join the forums if you want live game‑thread chaos while you watch.
