The Cowboys’ season finale is set.
After the Sunday slate of Week 17 games wrapped up with a thrilling primetime shootout between the Bears and 49ers, the NFL announced the full Week 18 schedule. Each year, the league waits to set game times for Week 18 so it can arrange the high-stakes games into prime viewing slots.
The Week 18 bout between the Cowboys and Giants isn’t exactly one of the high-stakes games, with each team eliminated from the postseason. Dallas and New York will kick off at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. on Sunday at 12 p.m. central time.

The Cowboys enter the game looking to finish the season at the .500 mark, as they enter with a 7-8-1 record, while the Giants carry an abysmal 3-13 record and have a chance at the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft.
Elsewhere around the league, there are several games with massive implications.
The Seahawks will visit the 49ers on Saturday at 7 p.m. for a massive game that will decide both the NFC West title and the NFC’s No. 1 seed. There are two other matchups with division titles on the line as well, as Panthers-Buccaneers at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday will decide the NFC South title and and Ravens-Steelers on Sunday night at 7:20 p.m. will decide the AFC North crown.
