The Cowboys are going back to Cali for 2026 training camp, and the faithful will have more than a dozen opportunities to interact with the team, whether it’s watching practice, attending Fan Night, hearing the Jones family speak at Opening Ceremonies, seeing your little ones go through the paces at flag football training camp, or taking part in a dance clinic put on by the most famous cheerleading squad in the world.
The Cowboys have announced the full schedule for this year’s Oxnard stay, which will have the team charter arriving July 27 and the traditional opening press conference the following day, before players hit the field for the first practice on Wednesday, July 29.
Once again, the team will set up camp at the River Ridge Playing Fields. Spectators are invited to open practice sessions, which are free. Gates typically open two hours before practice begins, and capacity crowds can sometimes force the venue to cut off admittance.
Here’s a quick look at the day-to-day schedule, with all times listed in Pacific Daylight Time.
It is not known at this time whether the team will remain in Oxnard after hosting the Saints on Aug. 18, as their second preseason game will take them to Arizona just a few nights later.
Once the Cowboys return home from their West Coast trip, they will finish out training camp at The Star in Frisco. Select practices are typically opened to the public ahead of the preseason finale, which this year will be played at AT&T Stadium against the Saints on Aug. 28.
Those home practice dates have not yet been made public.
