When Is the Dallas Cowboys Bye Week in 2026?
The Dallas Cowboys bye is Week 14 — Sunday, December 13, 2026.
Their last game before the bye is Week 13 on December 7 (at Seattle Seahawks), and they return in Week 15 on December 20 (at Los Angeles Rams). For fantasy managers: plan your roster around Week 14 — every Dallas Cowboys player is off that week, so line up replacements at the positions you lean on before your waiver rivals do.
