The Game: Cowboys vs Jaguars Preview
Jacksonville arrive as one of the NFL’s success stories. Under Liam Coen, now in his second season as head coach, the Jaguars improved from 4-13 in 2024 to 13-4 in 2025 and won the AFC South for the first time since 2022. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence set a career high in touchdowns in Coen’s offense, and Jacksonville started the 2026 season 1-0.
For Dallas, this game comes late in the season, when playoff races are decided. The Cowboys missed the postseason in 2025 with a 7-9-1 record, and the second half of the schedule will show whether Brian Schottenheimer’s team can turn a slow start into a playoff push.
The teams have met eight times, and the most recent game was a wild one: in December 2022 the Jaguars came back from a 21-7 halftime deficit to beat Dallas 40-34. By late December injuries and playoff races will shape both rosters, so check the latest news before you travel.
Head-to-Head: Cowboys vs Jaguars
| Stat | Record |
|---|---|
| All-time series | Tied 4-4 |
| Total meetings | 8 |
| Last meeting | Jaguars 40, Cowboys 34 (Dec 18, 2022, in Jacksonville) |
| 2022 comeback | Jaguars rallied from 21-7 down at halftime |
| Jaguars in 2025 | 13-4, AFC South champions |
| 2026 coaches | Brian Schottenheimer (Dallas); Liam Coen (Jacksonville, year two) |
The Cowboys and Jaguars have split their eight meetings 4-4, which makes this one of the most balanced series on Dallas’s schedule. Because they play in different conferences, the teams only meet every few years, so each game feels like a special occasion.
The most recent meeting was one of the most dramatic in the series. Dallas led 21-7 at halftime and 27-10 in the third quarter, but Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars rallied to win 40-34, one of the biggest comebacks in franchise history.
Getting to AT&T Stadium
AT&T Stadium is in Arlington’s Entertainment District, roughly midway between downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth and about 10 miles south of DFW Airport. Arlington has no rail service to the stadium, so nearly everyone arrives by car or rideshare. Lots generally open about five hours before Cowboys games (2:20 PM CT for this one), and you can buy parking in advance through the stadium’s official parking page. For directions, rideshare zones and accessibility, see our complete AT&T Stadium guide.
Where to Sit
For football, sideline seats in the 200 and 300 levels give the best balance of view and price: high enough to see plays develop, low enough to feel the crowd. The 100 level is the closest seated ring, the 400 level and the standing-room areas are the budget way in, and thanks to the stadium’s two huge arches there are no interior columns blocking the view. Bags are limited to clear totes up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″, one-gallon clear bags or small clutches.

Where to Stay
The Arlington Entertainment District is the simplest base: the stadium, Globe Life Field and Texas Live! are all within walking distance of each other, so you can walk to the game and skip the parking and rideshare queues. Loews Arlington Hotel sits inside Texas Live! and is the closest full-service option, and options such as the Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington trade a short drive for lower prices. For more nightlife and dining, downtown Fort Worth and downtown Dallas (where the Omni Dallas Hotel is a popular base) are each roughly 20-30 minutes away by car. This is an evening game in the week after Christmas, so many fans make a weekend of it. Book early if you want a hotel close to the stadium.

Things to Do Around the Game
Make a weekend of it. The Entertainment District has Globe Life Field, Texas Live!, Six Flags Over Texas and Hurricane Harbor Arlington within a short drive, and downtown Dallas and Fort Worth’s Stockyards are about 20 minutes away. On a non-event day you can also tour the stadium itself, though field access depends on the event calendar (see the stadium’s availability page).
