How to Watch Out-of-Market Dallas Cowboys Games

The National Football League makes it easy to watch scheduled games throughout the year because the games are broadcast all over the nation. With that being said, each team will play a maximum of one game per week. The issue here is that fans may not be able to watch their favorite teams because they don’t reside in the teams’ respective markets.

This is where following NFL games can become difficult because most regular season games are broadcast on a regional basis. In most locations, Sunday afternoon games are generally limited to only two broadcasts via Fox or CBS. Of course, this is great news for local fans who have in-market access. Local fans of the area can easily watch the games thanks to their Fox or CBS affiliate.

Unfortunately, fans who reside in distant locations are out of luck. For example, most Dallas Cowboys games will not be shown in regions such as New York.

Other professional leagues, such as the NBA and MLB, have solved this problem by building their own viewership platforms – the NBA League Pass and MLB.TV – and professional soccer and ice hockey games are featured on ESPN+.

There is a solution to handle out-of-market Cowboys games: NFL Sunday Ticket.

The only issue is that fans will need to subscribe to YouTube or YouTube TV to access it. If you don’t mind this, then your problem is instantly solved.

What Channels Do I Need to Watch Out-of-Market Dallas Cowboys Games?

Here are some of the available platforms for watching out-of-market Cowboys games.

1. NFL Sunday Ticket is the ultimate source for Dallas Cowboys viewership because it will deliver every NFL game to subscribers outside the Cowboys’ broadcast area.
2. NFL+ Premium will provide on-demand access for all out-of-market games for a price of $9.99 per month. There’s a catch because this platform only shows replays of the games instead of live streams. If you don’t mind waiting, then this service is a good option. NFL+ Premium does offer live, in-market games on mobile devices, including all out-of-market NFL preseason games. (NFL+ review)
3. NFL RedZone doesn’t provide out-of-market football games, but fans can watch Sunday afternoon games simultaneously. This platform is a fantasy football resource via 7 hours of gameplay with teams that are inside of the red zone (within the opponent’s 20-yard line). Viewers can go back and forth for keeping track of the action, and player stats are listed for reference purposes.
4. VPN isn’t a streaming platform, but it’s a tool that allows fans outside the Cowboys’ geographical broadcast area to access and watch games anyway (which would otherwise be blacked out). (VPN overview)
5. SiriusXM won’t provide any video content, but it’s great for listening to live game action.
6. Sports bars, friends, and other options can be used when all else fails. These options are perfect for enjoying the games in a social setting.

A notable mention for individuals who live outside of the US is NFL Game Pass International. For complete details, see our review.
