Giants Host Cowboys in Sunday Night Football Season Opener

John Harbaugh will debut as the head coach of the New York Giants when they face the Dallas Cowboys in the 2026 Week 1 Sunday Night Football game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The Giants, who finished last in the NFC East with a record of 4-13 last season, will host the Cowboys, who were second in the division at 7-9-1. The kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET, with Dallas favored by 3 points and an over/under of 47.5 points.

Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is a game-time decision due to a knee injury. Last season, both teams showed strong offensive performances, with Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott throwing for 4,552 yards and 30 touchdowns, while Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 63.7% of his passes for 2,272 yards and 15 touchdowns.
