Cowboys fans in the US that don’t want to miss a single game this season will need either a cable package or a subscription to a streaming service that gives you access to CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN and the NFL Network. This season, Fox and NFL network will show Thursday Night Football, NBC will show Sunday Night Football and ESPN will show Monday Night Football.

The NFL also has its own streaming service called NFL Game Pass (opens in new tab) which costs just $99 for the whole season. However, there is a big catch as in the US: the service will only allow you to watch replays of games, and doesn't offer live streams like its international version.

For this reason, we recommend getting a subscription to a streaming service that gives you access to CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN and NFL Network instead of signing up for NFL Game Pass. If you’re located outside the US it’s a different story as the International NFL Game Pass doesn’t have these same restrictions but more on that later. Of all the streaming services currently available, Sling TV (opens in new tab) is the best option for most Cowboys fans.

The best streaming service for Dallas Cowboys fans

To watch every Cowboys game this season, you’ll need to sign up for the service’s Orange + Blue plan which costs $35 for your first month and then increases to $45 per month. Sling’s Orange + Blue plan (opens in new tab) gives you access to almost all of the channels you’ll need to watch the NFL live this season as it includes ESPN, Fox, NBC and the NFL Network, though not CBS. 

This isn't really a problem if you only want to watch Dallas Cowboys games this season, as NBC is the regional sports network for the Dallas-Fort Worth market and airs Cowboys games that aren't being nationally televised. So Sling TV, which offers a FREE trial of all its plans (opens in new tab), should have Big D-or-bust fans completely covered.

If you're a Cowboys fan who also likes watching other NFL teams play from time to time, then you might still want CBS. In that case, Sling is currently running a promotion (opens in new tab) where it will send new customers who pre-pay for two months of its service a free over-the-air antenna which will allow you to watch all of the NFL games shown on CBS this season.

Alternatively, for the odd CBS game you might want to watch, you could check out the network's CBS All Access (opens in new tab) service, which is cheap at just $5.99 a month and offers a FREE 7-day trial (opens in new tab) of its own. 

How to watch Dallas Cowboys blackout games

And if blackouts become an issue for whatever reason, remember that having a good VPN (opens in new tab) on your software roster can help you get around this - just follow the guide above.

How to get a free Cowboys ive stream for select games

Not interested in signing up for cable or for a streaming service? Don’t worry as you’ll still be able to watch a number of football games for free on mobile by downloading the Yahoo Sports app (opens in new tab). Yahoo will show every NFL game that is broadcast in your local TV market for free in its app including Monday Night Football and Thursday Night Football.

The streaming service DAZN is the best way to watch the NFL and Cowboys games in Canada this season and there are a number of tempting DAZN (opens in new tab) packages on offer.

With DAZN, you’ll be able to watch every game in the 2020-21 NFL season on all of your favorite streaming devices as the service supports Apple TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Roku, Xbox One and PS4 in addition to iOS, Android, PC and Mac. 

It costs $20 a month or $150 per year but DAZN also offers a FREE TRIAL (opens in new tab) deal that will let you try DAZN for free so you can see if it's the right option for you.

If you’re in the UK, then Sky Sports (opens in new tab) is one of watching the Cowboys this season as the network will show more than 100 live games on Sky Sports Main Event and on its new Sky Sports NFL channel. The network will show at least five live games per week including every Thursday, Sunday and Monday Night Football game, plus a selected early and late kick-off game.

As one of the NFL's most celebrated teams, the Cowboys are often among the teams featured, but for those who don’t want the full commitment of a Sky contract, there are other options.

A Now TV Sky Sports Pass (opens in new tab) will let you watch the network’s NFL coverage and can be cancelled at any time. In addition to the NFL, there's also loads of football, cricket, golf, and F1 action, with pricing that starts at £9.99 for a day's use - but we highly recommend the better value Monthly Pass (opens in new tab) for the majority of viewers. £33.99 gets you coverage for the beginning of the 2020 NFL season as well as the full month of content from other sports as well. 

And for the die-hard Cowboys fans that can’t stand  the thought of missing a single game will be happy to know that NFL Game Pass is also available in the UK. However, unlike in the US, the International NFL Game Pass (opens in new tab) will let you watch all 250+ games this season live as they happen as well as the Playoffs and Super Bowl LV for £143.99 per year. You can also pay for your NFL Game Pass plan in four installments of £36.00.

If you're looking to watch a Cowboys live stream from abroad, you might be geo-blocked out of some of these viewing options. Using a (opens in new tab)reliable VPN (opens in new tab) can easily get around this so you can get back to the game.

Cowboys fans in Australia have several options to watch the NFL this season as Foxtel, 7Mate and Kayo Sports will all broadcast live games.

Foxtel will broadcast live NFL games via ESPN but you will need to add the network’s Sports Package for $25 per month on top of the Foxtel Plus Pack at $49 per month to watch making it a hard option to recommend. While you won’t be able to watch every game this season on 7Mate (opens in new tab), the network will show two games per week free over-the-air and some games will be available to stream on its streaming service 7Plus.

If you’ve already cut the cord, then the excellent value streaming service Kayo Sports (opens in new tab) also has you covered for all things ESPN and can be cancelled at any time - so we'd recommend looking into this option first. It costs either $25 or $35 per month depending on which package you choose but it’s still far cheaper than Foxtel and you can grab a 14-day FREE TRIAL (opens in new tab) to test it out. Perhaps best of all, a single Kayo Sports subscription can be used simultaneously across multiple devices, meaning you can share one with family or friends and pay less.

And don't forget: you can grab a good VPN (opens in new tab) to ensure you can access your preferred streaming coverage from anywhere in the world, while NFL Game Pass (opens in new tab) is available in Australia for those who don't want to miss a single Dallas Cowboys game this season.
