For the second straight season, the Browns will begin their season at home to the Cleveland Browns.
This year, they will face an NFC East opponent they have not played against since 2020. The Browns will host the Dallas Cowboys on September 8 at 4:25 PM ET, and the game will be broadcast on FOX.
Single game tickets for the home opener are Available at present.
“It’s exciting to be able to open the season at home,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said. “Last year’s home opener was electric, and we expect the same atmosphere. We feed off the energy of our fans and I’m sure there will be a little extra enthusiasm from them since this is the first of the 2024 season. The Cowboys are the defending NFC East champions, so it will be a challenge “It’s great and we’re looking forward to it.”
They traveled to Dallas in 2020 where they beat the Cowboys 49-38 in Week 4. The Browns last hosted the Cowboys in Cleveland in 2016, when they lost to Dallas 35-10. The Browns have played the Cowboys 32 times since 1960 in franchise history, including three postseason games in the 1960s. Cleveland leads the overall series 18-14.
While the Browns dealt with a slew of injuries in the 2023 season to key players on both sides of the ball, they are poised to be healthier to start the 2024 season as both QB Deshaun Watson and RB Nick Chubb continue to rehabilitate from their injuries. . They also re-signed key players in the Browns’ defense to return it with their league-leading defense starting in 2023.
The Cowboys finished the 2023 season atop the NFC East, winning the division for the first time since 2021 and the second time in three seasons. They finished the regular season with a 12-5 record but lost in the Wild Card round to the Packers. However, this offseason, the Cowboys made an important move as they brought back star RB Ezekiel Elliott after he spent the 2023 season with the Patriots.
The Browns may face a tough test to start the season, but it’s one that could set the tone for Cleveland in Week 1.
