BREAKING: Cowboys–Vikings Game Time Officially Changed After Unexpected Event at AT&T Stadium
The NFL has announced a major schedule change for this week’s highly anticipated matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings at AT&T Stadium — and fans across the country were caught completely off guard.
Originally set for its standard kickoff slot, the game has now been shifted to a new start time due to what league officials are calling “an unexpected operational event.” While details are still emerging, the NFL confirmed that the adjustment was made to ensure full stadium safety, broadcast coordination, and team readiness.
The Cowboys released a brief statement early Monday morning, noting:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances at AT&T Stadium, Sunday’s game time has been updated. We appreciate our fans for their understanding and will share additional information as needed.”
The Vikings organization echoed that message, adding that the team is “fully prepared for any schedule adjustments.”
