Sunday Night Football is going back to a classic rivalry to open its 2026 NFL slate.
The New York Giants will host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 on Sept. 13 at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC, the Today show announced on Monday.
It will mark the eighth time in the past 15 seasons the division rivals will square off to open a campaign.
Kicking off SNF with the matchup will bring the eyeballs to NBC. Cowboys and Giants games always attract viewers, and with both clubs entering 2026 with optimism of a swift turnaround after last year’s struggles, it’s sure to provide more fireworks.
