The 2025 season did not give the Dallas Cowboys the kind of home dominance fans had grown used to seeing at AT&T Stadium, but it also did not erase the bigger picture. Dallas went 4-3-1 at home last season, that ranked 13th among all 32 NFL teams in home record. That puts the Cowboys almost exactly in the middle of the league for 2025, with only the Philadelphia Eagles ranking higher in the NFC East at 11th.
The 2025 Cowboys were not great at home by their recent standard, but they were still above .500 in Arlington despite an uneven overall season. Dallas finished 7-9-1 overall, and the home split was clearly stronger than the road split. The Cowboys were 4-3-1 at home and 3-6 on the road, so even in a disappointing year, AT&T Stadium still represented the more reliable side of the schedule.
The stronger argument comes when you pull back from one season and look at the larger picture. Over the last five regular seasons, from 2021 through 2025, the Cowboys are 27-14-1 at home. That .655 winning percentage ranks sixth in the NFL over that span, trailing only the Bills, Chiefs, Packers, Eagles and Dolphins. In other words, even after the ugly 2-7 home collapse in 2024 and the more modest 4-3-1 mark in 2025, Dallas still owns a top-six home record across the league over the last five years.
That five-year stretch includes some wildly different versions of the Cowboys. In 2021, Dallas went 5-3 at home. In 2022, the Cowboys surged to 8-1 at AT&T Stadium. In 2023, they were perfect in the regular season at home, going 8-0. Then came the 2024 crash, when Dallas went 2-7 at home, before rebounding to 4-3-1 in 2025. Add it all up, and the Cowboys still come out as one of the NFL’s most successful home teams over a meaningful sample.
For the Cowboys to get back into the NFC contender conversation, AT&T Stadium has to look more like it did from 2021 through 2023 than it did in 2024. But the evidence is still there, when Dallas is right, its home field has been one of the league’s better advantages. The 2025 season was a reminder that the Cowboys cannot simply assume dominance in Arlington.
