The
NFL
's 2025 schedule release has ignited a ticket-buying frenzy among fans, and unsurprisingly, the
Dallas Cowboys
are leading the charge. With blockbuster matchups, prime-time slots, and legacy-driven rivalries, the
Cowboys
are not just playing football — they're headlining an entertainment spectacle that has the entire sports world buzzing. The Cowboys' games are commanding staggering ticket prices, and their presence in three of the top five most sought-after games speaks volumes about their enduring cultural relevance.
Despite Chiefs' rise, Cowboys still rule America's heart
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, via Vivid Seats data, the season's most expensive ticket is for the highly anticipated opener between the Cowboys and the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. 'No game currently is in more demand than the Cowboys-Eagles opener, which has an average ticket price of $1,743 since the schedule was released,' Schefter reported. This Week 1 Thursday Night Football showdown, set for September 4 at Lincoln Financial Field, kicks off the season with a fierce NFC East rivalry that promises fireworks.
But that's just the beginning for Dallas. Their Thanksgiving Day showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs, another iconic matchup, is pulling an average ticket price of $1,491. Scheduled for November 27, this clash isn't just a game — it's being positioned as a potential record-breaker in terms of viewership. The stakes? Bragging rights, legacies, and the soul of America's most beloved sport.
A few weeks earlier, on September 28, the Cowboys will host the Green Bay Packers in another marquee matchup, averaging $1,295 per ticket. Dallas' involvement in these high-demand games isn't just a scheduling quirk — it's a reflection of their massive fanbase and the broader cultural pull they exert over the NFL landscape.
Outside of Dallas, notable contenders round out the top five. The Baltimore Ravens will meet the Buffalo Bills on September 7 in a Sunday Night Football clash, where tickets are averaging $1,183. Meanwhile, the Week 18 Jets vs. Bills game (date TBD) is drawing $1,169 per ticket, rounding off a list dominated by franchises with star quarterbacks and playoff aspirations.
Fans across social media, especially on X, are reacting with a mix of shock and excitement. One user wrote, '$1,743 for Cowboys-Eagles? That's wild—but I'd pay to see that opener!' That sentiment reflects the deep-rooted passion NFL fans harbor, especially for games where pride, division rivalries, and star power collide.
While Kansas City continues to ride the wave of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce's dominance, the debate over who truly holds the title of 'America's Team' is heating up. Some believe the Chiefs may be the new face of the league. But former NFL wide receiver James Jones strongly disagrees.
'We talk about the Cowboys when they're winning. We talk about the Cowboys when they're losing. We talk about the Cowboys when they're average. We talk about the Cowboys when they're healthy. We talk about the Cowboys when they're hurt,' Jones said, emphasizing the unparalleled media obsession with the Cowboys.
Jones added emphatically, 'The Dallas Cowboys will forever be
America's Team
. That will never change.' In his view, Jerry Jones' branding of the franchise has built something untouchable — a legacy that transcends stats and standings.
This year's Thanksgiving game between the Cowboys and the Chiefs carries echoes of the past. The Chiefs, once the Dallas Texans, share an old-city connection with the Cowboys, and their rekindled rivalry is now set to unfold on the grandest stage. With football pride, ratings, and identity on the line, Cowboys vs. Chiefs isn't just the game of the season — it could be the defining cultural moment of the NFL's modern era.

Lamar Jackson in extension talks with the Baltimore Ravens for maybe two, three, four, or five years
(Image via Getty: Lamar Jackson) Lamar Jackson signed a five-year, reported $260 million deal ($185 million guaranteed) during the 2023 offseason that made him the NFL's highest-paid player at the time. With a $52 million annual salary, the two-time MVP is now the 10th-highest-paid signal-caller - reported Kevin Eck, Writer at the NFL's official website of Baltimore Ravens on June 5. According to Spotrac, Jackson's contract will last till 2027. In 2028, he becomes an unrestricted free agent. What does the general manager of the Baltimore Ravens, Eric DeCosta, have to say about Lamar Jackson's extension? In talks with Orioles Hall of Famer Mike Bordick and Sportscaster Jerry Coleman at the Bmore Baseball Podcast on June 4, Eric DeCosta shares about Lamar Jackson's futuristic extension at the Baltimore Ravens. Did the contract negotiations of quarterback Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens happen with Lamar's Mom, Felicia Jones? (Image via Getty: Felicia Jones and Lamar Jackson) Jerry Coleman asked on the podcast, 'Speaking of the quarterback, Lamar(Jackson), it seemed like yesterday he was just signing that record contract, and since then, the price has gone up tremendously. Where do things stand right now? I know you want to get things cap-friendly, and what's it like been to deal with Mrs. Jackson in negotiations over the years?' Eric DeCosta responded, 'Well, to be honest, this is a misconception that people have. You know, I never actually spoke to Lamar's Mom one time in contract negotiations. All of our negotiations were just me and Lamar. And they would be either on the phone, email, text messaging, or whatever it was in person. But it was just the two of us. And so the way CBA(Collective Bargaining Agreement) works is that, if a player is going to represent himself, he's actually gonna do all that representation. Lamar's mom is not - I don't believe - a certified agent. And so, by the letter of the law, all of our conversations had to take place just between the two of us.' Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta calls Lamar Jackson a shrewd guy, negotiator (Image via Getty: Lamar Jackson) D eCosta talks about the contract dealing with Lamar Jackson, 'It was arduous at best. It was challenging at times. I mean, Lamar did a really good job. He's kind of a shrewd guy, negotiator. Took a lot of legwork. It was a two-year process. And something that I think I'm very proud of and hopeful he's very proud of as well.' Lamar Jackson is certainly a big part of the two, three, four, five years contract extension plan at the Baltimore Ravens Jerry Coleman asked, 'So you're talking with him(Lamar Jackson) right now about things or just letting things lie as they are?' (Image via Getty) Eric DeCosta replied, 'Well, we've had some conversations before the draft, after the draft, in person last week. I think we're in the introductory sort of stage of looking at what an extension might look like. We've got a lot of business that we're conducting with different players. We're in a situation where we're blessed to have most of the team coming back. But as we look out over the next two, three, four, five years - we're trying to keep as many good players as we can. So, we've got some guys that we feel like have the chance to really be prolific players for us that can be here for a long time. We're trying to get as many of those guys signed up as possible. That's a big challenge, and Lamar(Jackson)'s certainly a big part of that. But there are other players as well.' Also Read: 'Those kinds of people succeed, you know?'

While Patrick Mahomes dominates the NFL, Brittany Mahomes scores big as KC Current's value explodes to $275 million
KC co-owned by Brittany Mahomes, surges in value $275 million (Image via Getty) The Kansas City Current, co-owned by Brittany Mahomes, has surged to a remarkable $275 million valuation — a staggering 266% increase — making it one of the most valuable teams in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). This explosive growth is a direct result of bold investments in infrastructure, talent, and fan engagement, placing the franchise at the heart of a new era in women's sports. First- ever stadium built for a women's pro team The club's rise is fueled by its groundbreaking stadium project — the CPKC Stadium — which opened in March 2024 as the first purpose-built stadium exclusively for a women's professional soccer team. The $120 million venue, entirely privately funded, has become a symbol of progress in the sports world. With a seating capacity of 11,500 and record-breaking sellouts, the stadium alone has significantly boosted the franchise's brand value and fan base. Equally important is the $18 million training facility unveiled in 2022, which provides state-of-the-art amenities, sports science integration, and a professional-grade environment that rivals top men's clubs. These strategic moves have not only enhanced player performance but also attracted top-tier athletes and coaching staff to Kansas City. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Star power and strategic ownership drive visibility Brittany Mahomes, a former soccer player herself, has played a pivotal role in shaping the Current's vision since its rebirth in 2020. Her involvement, combined with the entry of husband and NFL star Patrick Mahomes as a co-owner in 2023, has amplified visibility and credibility. Patrick became the first active NFL player to own a stake in an NWSL franchise, further elevating the club's national profile. KC is leading the charge , one sold-out match and milestone at a time (Image via Instagram) The franchise's growth mirrors the broader surge in women's sports, with the NWSL experiencing record attendance and increasing media rights deals. In 2023 alone, league-wide viewership jumped over 400%, and the Current consistently outperformed the league average in both ticket sales and engagement. With recent successes like the 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup title and a 2022 championship game appearance, Kansas City is not just building off the field — it's winning on it too.
