Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants – Where to Watch, Stream Info, TV Channel, and Live Updates (September 13, 2026)

The NFC East rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants carries weight before a single snap is taken, and this meeting at MetLife Stadium arrives with both franchises looking to establish themselves early. Dallas enters as a 2.5-point road favorite, a signal that oddsmakers see the Cowboys as the more complete team — but the Giants have reasons to push back on that assessment.

New York’s injury report looks clean heading into this one. The Giants appear set to have their full complement of weapons available, which matters enormously against a Dallas defense that will need to prove it can handle a healthy opponent. The Cowboys, meanwhile, carry the burden of expectation that follows this franchise wherever it goes — the question of whether they can translate potential into results is as relevant now as it has ever been.

Both teams are 0-0, which means every yard gained and every turnover forced carries outsized meaning. First impressions in a division race are rarely forgotten, and the team that controls the line of scrimmage here will send a message that echoes through the schedule.

Game Preview

The Cowboys hold a commanding 78-47-2 edge in the all-time series, a historical weight the Giants have never fully shaken. But recent memory offers New York genuine encouragement — in their most recent regular season meeting, the Giants handled Dallas convincingly, 34-17, at this same MetLife Stadium. That result demonstrated New York’s capacity to dominate this rivalry on home turf. With both teams sitting at 0-0, the division standings are a blank slate, and an early win here establishes tone and positioning in what figures to be a competitive NFC East race.

What to Watch For

Without player statistics on hand, the individual matchup angles are best understood through the broader team picture — and that picture favors the Giants in one important respect: health. New York appears to be at full strength entering this game, which gives head coach John Harbaugh a full deck to work with as he sets the tone for his program at MetLife Stadium.

For Dallas, the challenge is familiar — living up to the expectations that shadow this franchise. The Cowboys arrive as road favorites, which means the pressure to perform falls squarely on them. A team favored on the road in a division game has something to prove, and how Dallas responds to that pressure will define early perceptions of this roster.

The 34-17 result in the most recent meeting between these teams is the kind of margin that lingers. The Giants know they can impose their will on this opponent at home. Whether Dallas has addressed the vulnerabilities that produced that outcome is the central question this game will answer.
