The upcoming NFL season is always a topic of excitement for football fans, and for those loyal to the Dallas Cowboys, knowing the schedule is crucial for planning and anticipation. As of my last update, the official 2024 NFL schedule, including that of the Dallas Cowboys, has not been released. However, I can guide you on how to find and print the schedule once it’s available, and discuss some general aspects of the NFL schedule and the Cowboys’ likely opponents.
Finding the 2024 Dallas Cowboys Schedule
Official NFL Website: The most reliable source for the official schedule is the NFL’s website (www.nfl.com). They typically release the schedule for the upcoming season in May, and it includes detailed information about each team’s schedule.
Dallas Cowboys Official Website: The official website of the Dallas Cowboys (www.dallascowboys.com) will also have the schedule posted as soon as it’s released. They often provide printable versions, calendar downloads, and other tools to help fans stay up to date.
Sports News Websites and Apps: Websites like ESPN, Fox Sports, and sports apps on your mobile device will also carry the Cowboys’ schedule. Some may offer customizable print options or alerts for upcoming games.
Printing the Schedule
Once the schedule is released, you can follow these steps to print it:
- Visit the Source Website: Go to either the NFL’s official website or the Dallas Cowboys’ website.
- Find the Schedule Page: Look for a section titled “Schedule” or similar. This page should list all the games for the season, including dates, times, opponents, and locations.
- Print Option: Many websites will have a “Print” or “Printable Schedule” option directly on the schedule page. Clicking this will format the schedule for printing.
- Customization: Some sites may allow you to customize what you print, such as selecting which teams to include or the level of detail (e.g., just the date and opponent, or including game times and locations).
- Print to Your Printer: Use your browser’s print function to send the schedule to your printer. Ensure your printer settings are appropriate for the size and layout of the schedule.
Understanding the NFL Schedule
The NFL schedule typically includes 17 regular-season games per team, with one bye week. Teams play:
- 6 games against divisional opponents (home and away against each of the other 3 teams in their division).
- 4 games against another division from their own conference (rotates each year).
- 4 games against a division from the other conference (also rotates).
- 2 games against teams from the two remaining divisions in their conference, based on the teams’ finish in the previous season.
For the Cowboys, being part of the NFC East, their schedule will include home and away games against the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders, along with games against teams from other divisions as described above.
Anticipation for the 2024 Season
While waiting for the official schedule release, fans can speculate about the matches that could impact the Cowboys’ season the most. Rival games against divisional opponents, particularly against teams like the Eagles and Giants, are always highly anticipated. Interconference games can also be critical, depending on the perceived strength of the opposing teams.
As the NFL continues to evolve, fans remain eager to see how rule changes, team rosters, and coaching strategies will influence the upcoming season. For now, staying tuned to official announcements and preparing for the schedule release is the best way to ensure you’re ready for kickoff.
