The NFL has already begun to warm up for the 2026 season and confirmed one of the most anticipated games of Week 1, the Dallas Cowboys will visit the New York Giants on September 13 in the first Sunday Night Football of the year, a matchup that promises huge audiences and high expectations among Hispanic fans in the United States.
The game will be played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and will bring together two historic NFC East rivals who will meet again in the season opener for the eighth time in the last 15 years.
Cowboys and Giants return to prime time
The NFL is well aware of the media impact the Cowboys generate.
Considered for decades as “America’s team,” Dallas remains one of the most popular franchises not only in the United States, but also among the Latino community.
For that reason, the league once again placed the Texans in one of the most important television slots on the calendar.
However, this time the Giants also arrive surrounded by great media attention due to the changes that the New York franchise is undergoing (Filed under: Cowboys vs Giants NFL 2026).
New era of Giants generates expectation
One of the biggest attractions of the game will be the official debut of John Harbaugh as the Giants’ head coach.
The Super Bowl champion coach begins a new phase in New York with the mission of making the team competitive again.
In addition, all eyes will be on Jaxson Dart, who is emerging as the franchise quarterback after a rookie year full of ups and downs and media pressure.
If both arrive healthy for the season opener, the matchup against Dak Prescott could become one of the most watched games of all of Week 1.
Although Prescott and Dart started the last meeting between the two teams on January 4, that game no longer had playoff implications.
Something very different from the huge stage that Sunday Night Football will now represent (Filed under: Cowboys vs Giants NFL 2026).

Young figures will also steal the spotlight
Another aspect that generates expectation is the possible professional debut of two former Ohio State teammates.
On the Giants’ side, linebacker Arvell Reese, selected with the fifth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, stands out.
On the Dallas side is safety Caleb Downs, selected shortly thereafter with the 11th pick.
Both players arrive with high expectations and could quickly become important pieces for their respective defenses (Filed under: Cowboys vs Giants NFL 2026).
