Cowboys’ 2022 preseason schedule finalized with official dates, kickoff times

The Cowboys’ preseason schedule has been finalized.

The team had previously released the list of three opponents back in Mid-May, but details like kickoff times were not known. In the case of the Cowboys’ lone home preseason tilt, the final tune-up before the regular season, an exact date had not even announced; only a three-day window was specified.

Tuesday brought clarity to the schedule.

Week 1 of the preseason will see the Cowboys playing in Denver on Saturday, Aug. 13. Kickoff is 8 p.m. Central Time at Empower Field at Mile High. That game will follow a joint practice scheduled between the two clubs on Aug. 11.

The Cowboys remain out West for their second preseason contest, versus the Chargers on Saturday, Aug. 20, with a 9 p.m. Central start time at SoFi Stadium. Again, joint practices will be held at the Chargers’ facility in Costa Mesa on Aug. 17 and 18.

Finally, the team returns to the Metroplex for their preseason finale on Friday, Aug. 26. The Cowboys will host Seattle at AT&T Stadium beginning at 7 p.m. local time.

None of the Cowboys’ preseason games are set to be nationally televised.

It is thought that the first two preseason games will take place during the Cowboys’ training camp stay in California, and that the club will use Oxnard as their homebase for those excursions. Dates for 2022’s training camp have not been announced.

Last year, the team traveled from Oxnard to Canton to play in the Hall of Fame Game, then returned to California to host a joint practice against the Rams. They broke camp a few days later, traveled to Arizona for a preseason game against the Cardinals, and then flew to Dallas immediately afterward to close out camp and the 2021 preseason at their home facilities.
