The holidays will once again be a time for football in 2025. On Wednesday, the NFL announced the Dallas Cowboys will host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day, a showdown between “America’s Team” and the team that may have supplanted them for that title.
Coming off three straight Super Bowl appearances, the star-powered Chiefs will enter 2025 as a prime choice for marquee games. The Thanksgiving game, which will be broadcast on CBS, is the second holiday game announced for Kansas City, along with a Christmas Day matchup against the AFC West rival Denver Broncos.

The Chiefs played on Christmas and Black Friday in 2024, but haven’t played on Thanksgiving since 2006, a game in which they defeated the Broncos 19-10 thanks to 157 yards on 34 carries from Larry Johnson.
The Cowboys, who play on Thanksgiving every year, hold a record of 34-22-1 on the holiday and are riding a three-game Thanksgiving winning streak.
