Where to Check If the Cowboys Game Is Streaming

The fastest way to know whether a Cowboys game is on Paramount Plus is to open the Paramount Plus app or website and search for "Dallas Cowboys" or look at the Sports section. Paramount Plus carries some NFL games, but not every Cowboys game — the network's rights are limited to specific matchups, usually Thursday Night Football games and some playoff contests.

You can also check the official NFL schedule on NFL.com or the Dallas Cowboys official website, which lists which network carries each game. When you see "Paramount Plus" or "P+" listed as the broadcaster, that game will stream on the service. The schedule is usually published weeks in advance, so you can plan ahead.

Another reliable source is the Paramount Plus app itself — it displays upcoming sports events prominently on the home screen, and you can set reminders for games you want to watch. If you have an active Paramount Plus subscription, the app will show you which games are included with your plan.

Key Takeaways

  • Paramount Plus carries some Cowboys games, primarily Thursday Night Football matchups and certain playoff games, but not all regular season games.
  • The NFL schedule on NFL.com and the Cowboys official website clearly label which network broadcasts each game.
  • You can search the Paramount Plus app directly for Cowboys games to see what is currently available to stream.
  • Paramount Plus requires an active subscription to watch live games, though the service offers different plan tiers.

What Games Paramount Plus Actually Carries

Paramount Plus has streaming rights to Thursday Night Football games during the NFL season, and the Cowboys appear on this broadcast when they are scheduled for Thursday nights. The service also carries some playoff games and Super Bowl coverage, depending on the year and which network holds those rights.

Regular season games on Sunday or Monday may not be on Paramount Plus — those typically air on CBS, Fox, ESPN, or other networks. If a Cowboys game is not showing up in your Paramount Plus search, it is likely being broadcast on one of those channels instead. The network broadcasting each game changes week to week based on the NFL's scheduling.

How to Search Within the Paramount Plus App

Open the Paramount Plus app on your phone, tablet, or smart TV and tap the search icon (usually a magnifying glass). Type "Cowboys" or "Dallas Cowboys" and the app will show you any upcoming or recent Cowboys content available on the service.

You can also navigate to the Sports section of Paramount Plus, where upcoming games are listed by date. If a Cowboys game is scheduled to stream, it will appear there with the date, time, and opponent. Paramount Plus typically shows games several days in advance so you can plan to watch.

Subscription Requirements and Plan Options

Paramount Plus offers multiple subscription tiers. The standard plan with ads and the ad-free plan both include access to live sports like Thursday Night Football. Some games may require the higher-tier plan, so check your subscription level if you are having trouble accessing a specific broadcast.

If you do not have a Paramount Plus subscription, you will need to sign up before you can watch any games on the service. The subscription is separate from cable or satellite TV, so even if you have those services, you need the streaming subscription to watch Paramount Plus broadcasts.

When the Cowboys Game Is Not on Paramount Plus

If the Cowboys are playing but the game is not on Paramount Plus, check which network is broadcasting it. Most Cowboys games air on CBS or Fox, which you can watch through cable, satellite, or over-the-air antenna if you live in the Dallas market or the opponent's market. Some games air on ESPN, which requires an ESPN+ subscription or cable access.

You can find the broadcast network listed on the official NFL schedule or the Cowboys website. That same page usually shows whether the game is available to stream through the network's own app or website — for example, CBS games may stream on Paramount Plus or the CBS app depending on the specific game.

Setting Reminders for Cowboys Games on Paramount Plus

Most streaming apps, including Paramount Plus, allow you to set reminders for upcoming events. When you find a Cowboys game listed on the service, look for a bell icon or "Remind Me" button. Tap it, and the app will send you a notification when the game is about to start.

Setting a reminder is useful because Paramount Plus sometimes adjusts its schedule or adds games at the last minute. A notification ensures you do not miss the start time, especially if you are planning to watch with others or want to tune in at a specific time.
