Dallas Cowboys prepare for 2026 season after World Cup updates

Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are transitioning back to football after hosting World Cup matches at AT&T Stadium. Preparations for the upcoming 2026 NFL season are underway, with Jerry Jones aiming for a playoff appearance following last season's 7-9 record. Significant changes have occurred since the end of the 2025 season, including new draft picks. Controversially, work has begun on removing the natural grass turf installed for the World Cup, despite NFL players advocating for grass fields, as Jones remains committed to artificial turf. The Cowboys' regular season opens at AT&T Stadium on September 20, while they face the New Orleans Saints in a pre-season matchup at the end of August.
