Cowboys at Texans NRG Stadium, Oct 4, 2026

The closest road trip on the schedule, and the only one a Dallas fan could reasonably drive to and back in a day. Houston is a few hours south, kickoff is at noon, and a decent share of NRG Stadium will be wearing the wrong colors, which is precisely what makes an in-state game worth the gas money. Texas football arguments are not conducted quietly, and they are not conducted briefly either. The Texans and the Cowboys do not meet often enough for anyone to grow bored of it, and that rarity lends an ordinary October Sunday rather more edge than the standings suggest it has earned. A noon start leaves the entire afternoon free afterwards, which is either a mercy or a problem depending entirely on the result. Bars across Dallas fill early for this one and do not empty in a hurry.

Sunday, October 4. Kickoff at 12:00 PM CT. NRG Stadium, Houston, TX. FOX has the broadcast.

This one is not ours to sell. Dallas VIP does not run travel, tickets or hospitality outside North Texas, and a countdown on a page is not an invitation to a stadium we cannot get you into. The dates we can do anything about are the ones played closer to home, and every one still on the schedule is listed below with a suite, a driver, a tailgate and seats behind it. Pick a date and we will handle the rest of the day around it.
