The matchup is also a homecoming for Chiefs' star quarterback and Texas native Patrick Mahomes, who will play in Arlington for the first time since his pro career began.

Dallas usually hosts an NFC East rival in their Thanksgiving game slot, having played the New York Giants or Washington Commanders on the big day in four of the last five years. So it was surprising for many when the league put the marquee Cowboys-Chiefs matchup on the holiday slot.

The Thanksgiving table is set and the Dallas Cowboys will be hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on November 27 at 4:30 p.m. ET. This Week 13 game, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ marks the first start for Patrick Mahomes at AT&T Stadium against the Cowboys.
