How to watch Jets vs. Cowboys for free: Start time, livestream

The New York Jets will look to right the ship on Sunday night when they host the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium in what could be a turning point in their season.

After an uninspiring start to the 2025 campaign, the Jets (0‑4) are desperate to snap the skid in Week 5. Meanwhile, Dallas (1-2-1) comes in as a slight favorite, bringing a high‑octane offense that may test New York’s weary defense.

Next week, the Jets will travel abroad to play in their fourth-ever NFL International Series game. They’ll play the Denver Broncos in London, England.

Here’s how to tune in to today’s Jets game without cable.

Jets vs. Cowboys time:

Jets vs. Cowboys is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET today, Oct. 5.
