Thanksgiving won’t be all about the Lone Star State this year.

The Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs will face off in a star-studded holiday matchup as part of the NFL’s Week 13 Thanksgiving tripleheader. Dak Prescott’s Cowboys are looking to gain ground in the playoff race after a shaky start to the season — a situation that mirrors Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, who are also trying to rebound.

The holiday marks the official start of the festive season, and the NFL hoped this game would be an early gift for fans — but both teams have fallen short of expectations in 2025.

Each squad has had its share of struggles, but a Thanksgiving victory could be the momentum shift they need heading into the final stretch.

Depending on your household traditions, this game will kick off somewhere between your first and second plate of Thanksgiving dinner — or perhaps just as you’re sitting down to eat.
