Fox cuts back on Cowboys spotlight in 2025 NFL schedule

Fox Sports is making a bold play in the 2025 NFL season, one that’s bound to surprise longtime viewers. The network has decided to reduce the number of Dallas Cowboys games in its high-profile 4:25 p.m. ET window, a move that reflects changing viewer habits and the rise of other compelling NFL storylines.

Mike Mulvihill, President of insights and analytics at FOX Sports, confirmed the shift in an interview with The Athletic, saying that the goal was to create a more balanced showcase of teams. “Only three of our 4:25 p.m. games this year are Cowboys games,” Mulvihill revealed. “In other years, we’ve looked for five or six.” Instead, Fox is turning the spotlight toward teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, and even the Washington Commanders, hoping to capitalize on narratives like rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels‘ debut season.

Detroit and Philly move to center stage

Last season, the Lions became a ratings sensation, overtaking Dallas as the most-watched team on nationally televised broadcasts, averaging 22.65 million viewers per game according to Sportico. This season, Fox will promote four Philadelphia Eagles matchups and three Lions games in the prized 4:25 window, signaling a clear intent to diversify its programming and lean into rising fan interest.

A Super Bowl rematch between the Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 is one of the headline games set to draw huge numbers.

The Cowboys still draw, but they’re sharing the limelight

Despite a disappointing 7-10 finish last season and losing quarterback Dak Prescott to a hamstring injury in Week 9, the Cowboys remain a marquee franchise. They’ll still appear in six primetime games, just one behind the Chiefs, including appearances on NBC, ESPN, CBS, Amazon Prime, and even Netflix for a special Christmas Day matchup.

Still, the message is clear: while the Cowboys remain “America’s Team,” Fox is no longer treating them as the automatic centerpiece of its Sunday programming.

A more varied NFL viewing experience

This change could be welcome news for fans outside of Dallas who’ve grown tired of the Cowboys‘ constant presence in Fox’s marquee window. Mulvihill summed it up best: “It’s still gonna be the Cowboys sometimes this year, but you’ll see a little bit more variety.”

Preakness Stakes 2025 picks, odds: Journalism, Sovereignty, Clever Again predictions by horse racing expert

Imagn Images If there is such a thing as home-track advantage for the 2025 Preakness Stakes, then Pay Billy has it. His last seven starts have all come at Laurel Park, which is just outside of Baltimore and fewer than 30 miles from Pimlico Race Course. The colt has won five of his last six races at Laurel, including three straight, making himself one of the top potential 2025 Preakness Stakes sleeper picks. However, the latest 2025 Preakness Stakes odds may indicate otherwise since Pay Billy is tied for the biggest of longshots at 20-1.

ANTOŠOVA BŘITVA: Fanoušci ho nesnášeli, byl hromosvodem pro všechno. Červenka je ale legenda

Tenhle dvojnásobný mistr světa je i v devětatřiceti letech pořád kapitánem národního týmu, za který ho v sobotu čeká jubilejní stý zápas na MS.Je to neuvěřitelná kariéra kluka, který svou dospělou kariéru začínal ve druhé lize v Hradci Králové a Ústí nad Labem. Roman je velkým příkladem pro všechny mladé hokejisty, kterým se nepodařilo hned odejít za oceán a dál zůstávají v Evropě.Roman totiž na sobě pracoval takovým způsobem, že bez přehánění je jedním z našich nejlepších reprezentantů za poslední roky. Přestože ho v jedné fázi jeho kariéry čeští fanoušci nesnášeli, vyčítali mu úplně všechno. Za všechny neúspěchy nároďáku prostě mohl Červenka.Vzpomínám si, jak jsme spolu cestovali autem, a vím, jak tahle kritika musela Romana žrát. Především proto, že to četli všichni kolem něj.
