Cowboys start preseason with win over Seahawks for first time since 2017

The Dallas Cowboys won their 2026 preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on August 15. This marks the first time the Cowboys have won their first game of any preseason since 2017, breaking a nearly decade-long streak of losses in opening preseason games. The team's last victory in a preseason opener was during the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game when Jerry Jones was honored in the Hall of Fame class. The Cowboys will aim to build on this win as they continue their preseason preparations.
