The Cowboys- along with all 32 NFL teams- now know the dates of their offseason workout programs.
Things will kick off on Monday, April 20 for the Cowboys players who elect to participate in the first day of the voluntary program. As usual, this is the beginning of Phase One, a two-week period during which activities are limited to meetings, strength and conditioning work, and physical rehab.
Phase Two follows and lasts three weeks. During this span, players get on the field for individual or group instruction and drills as well as so-called “perfect play drills.” Offensive players may line up across from offensive players, and defensive players are allowed to line up across from defensive players, but everything is conducted at a walk-through pace, and no live contact or team offense-versus-team defense action is allowed.
For the 2026 Cowboys, organized team activities (OTAs) will take place June 1-2, June 4, June 8-9, and June 11. Teams are permitted to hold a total of 10 single-day sessions; the Cowboys are currently slated for just six. In this Phase Three of the program, there’s no live contact, but 7-on-7, 9-on-9, and 11-on-11 drills are allowed.
Mandatory minicamp is scheduled for June 16-18.
It should be noted that all of these dates are subject to change at the discretion of the Cowboys.
