History

Historical Context

Since the Detroit Lions staged the NFL’s first Thanksgiving contest on November 29, 1934, the league has featured holiday games—including the Dallas Cowboys’ home slot added in 1966 and a third rotating matchup introduced in 2006. Fox’s recent Thanksgiving broadcasts have become the network’s top-rated holiday sports telecasts, positioning the 2026 Eagles-Cowboys game as a continuation of that legacy.
