NFL Sets Giants–Cowboys Finale for 1 P.M. ET Sunday on FOX

The early slot underscores that this matchup lacks playoff stakes as the league spotlights higher-impact games later in the weekend.

Overview

New York hosts Dallas at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Jan. 4 at 1:00 p.m. ET, with FOX carrying the broadcast.
Both teams are out of postseason contention, with the Giants at 3-13 and the Cowboys at 7-8-1, leaving draft positioning as the primary consequence after a late win over the Raiders altered New York’s outlook.
With a victory, Dallas can avoid a losing season and finish at 8-8-1.
The NFL placed this game in the early window while reserving later slots for matchups with titles or seeding at stake, including Panthers–Buccaneers, Seahawks–49ers, and Ravens–Steelers.
Following the finale, the Giants are expected to accelerate their head-coach search on Black Monday.
