Cowboys Eye Mexico Return for 2026 Season
22 Dec
Summary
- Dallas Cowboys aim to play in Mexico in 2026.
- The team has not won a Super Bowl in 30 years.
- Eagles secured NFC East title, eliminating Cowboys.
The Dallas Cowboys are actively pursuing a return to Mexico City for the 2026 NFL season. Owner Jerry Jones has indicated a strong willingness to play in Estadio Azteca, even if it means sacrificing a home game. This pursuit underscores the team's determination to break a 30-year Super Bowl championship drought, having last won in January 1996.
Their playoff hopes for the current season concluded recently when the Philadelphia Eagles secured the NFC East title, mathematically eliminating the Cowboys. This marks another year where 'America's Team' will not contend for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, a trophy they have not lifted since their Super Bowl XXX victory.
The last time the Cowboys played in Mexico was in a preseason game on August 27, 2001, where they lost to the Oakland Raiders. The franchise is now setting its sights on the 2026 season as a potential turning point to reclaim their former glory on the professional football stage.
