Thanksgiving Showdown: Cowboys vs. Chiefs Featuring Texas Star Patrick Mahomes

This Thanksgiving, football fans are in for a treat as the Dallas Cowboys gear up to host the Kansas City Chiefs at AT&T Stadium. The exciting matchup was officially announced on CBS Mornings, and it’s sure to be a highlight of the holiday.

For Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes, this game is particularly special. As a Texas native, he’ll be playing in Arlington for the first time since kicking off his professional career. Mahomes has only faced the Cowboys once before, back in 2021, when the Chiefs secured a 19-9 victory in Kansas City. In that game, Dallas QB Dak Prescott struggled to find the end zone, and fans are eager to see if he can turn the tide this time around.

The Cowboys have a long-standing tradition of playing on Thanksgiving, a practice that dates back to 1966. This year, they’ll be looking to avenge their previous loss against the Chiefs when they take the field at 3:30 p.m. CT on November 27. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS or stream it on Paramount+.

This announcement comes on the heels of another surprise from the NFL, which revealed earlier this week that the Cowboys will also face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in their home opener on Thursday, September 4. Exciting times are ahead for Dallas fans!

This season will also see the Cowboys welcoming some major new faces, including head coach Brian Schottenheimer, wide receiver George Pickens, who was recently traded from the Steelers, and first-round draft pick offensive lineman Tyler Booker. With these changes, the team is looking to make a significant impact this year.

As the NFL gears up to release the full 2025 schedule at 7 p.m. CT on Wednesday, fans are left wondering: will this be the year the Cowboys finally make their mark? Only time will tell!
