National Football Conference · NFC East
The Dallas Cowboys were founded in 1960 in Dallas, Texas. Home games are played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with club headquarters in Frisco. Jerry Jones serves as both owner and general manager, with Brian Schottenheimer as head coach and Christian Parker as defensive coordinator. The franchise has experienced significant swings in fortune over the years covered here. A 4–12 campaign in 2015 gave way to a 13–3 season in 2016, and the team strung together three consecutive 12–5 playoff appearances from 2021 through 2023. More recent seasons have been leaner: 7–10 in 2024, 7–9–1 in 2025, and an 0–1 start to 2026. The current roster features quarterback Dak Prescott, receiver CeeDee Lamb, newly arrived wideout George Pickens, defensive linemen Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams, cornerback DaRon Bland, safety Caleb Downs, and kicker Brandon Aubrey, among others. The team is also known as America's Team, The 'Boys, Big D, and the Doomsday Defense.
