The Cowboys started the season by traveling to MetLife Stadium to face one of their longtime NFC East rivals: the New York Giants.

The Cowboys defense returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the first quarter, had two interceptions (returning one for a touchdown), and recorded a total of seven sacks during the game on the Giants quarterback Daniel Jones as they posted their first shutout win since 2017.[citation needed]
With the shutout win, the Cowboys started the season 1–0 for the first time since 2019.

After a raging shutout win over the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys went back home to face New York's other NFL team, the New York Jets. The Cowboys benefitted from the Jets having to start Zach Wilson because of Aaron Rodgers injuring his Achilles' tendon the week before. Dallas scored the only points of the first quarter, with Dak Prescott hitting Jake Ferguson with a 4-yard touchdown pass to put the Cowboys up, 7–0.
In the second quarter, Brandon Aubrey extended the Cowboys' lead to 10–0 upon booting a 35-yard field goal. However, they allowed Zach Wilson to pass for his only touchdown of the game by hitting Garrett Wilson with a 68-yard touchdown pass to drop the Cowboys' lead to three points. But the Cowboys wouldn't go away, as Dak Prescott hit Luke Schoonmaker with a 1-yard touchdown pass with the two-point conversion to put Dallas up by 11. With 4 seconds until halftime, the Jets scored their final points, with Austin Seibert booting a 34-yard field goal to bring New York within eight.
The second half belonged to Brandon Aubrey, as he booted 4 field goals, with 2 coming in the 3rd quarter, and the other two coming in the 4th, to reach the final score of 30–10.
The Cowboys' defense thoroughly harassed Zach Wilson, intercepting him 3 times and sacking him 3 times for 19 yards.
With the win, the Cowboys improved to 2–0, and won their first game against the Jets since 2007.
Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra was played as the game concluded.

After two consecutive blowout wins over both New York teams, the Cowboys traveled to State Farm Stadium, hoping to give the Arizona Cardinals their 10th consecutive loss dating back to last season. Despite intercepting 5 passes in the previous two games, the Cowboys defense struggled throughout the game and could not intercept Cardinals' quarterback Joshua Dobbs at all. After falling into a 15–3 hole in the second quarter, Dallas failed to rebound, ultimately losing 28–16, and extending their losing streak against the Cardinals to three games. With the upset loss, the Cowboys fell to 2–1, and allowed their division rival Eagles to take sole possession of the division lead after their win the following night over the Buccaneers. Additionally, it was Dak Prescott's first game of the season throwing an interception.

After a loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Cowboys went back home to face the New England Patriots. This was Ezekiel Elliott's return to AT&T Stadium for the first time since being released from the Cowboys. He played 7 seasons with the Cowboys from 2016 to 2022. He will, however, return to the Cowboys in 2024. The Cowboys dominated from start to finish against Bill Belichick and the Patriots. Leighton Vander Esch scored the first defensive touchdown of his career on an 11-yard fumble recovery.
With the win, the Cowboys improved to 3–1, and gave Belichick his worst loss as a head coach.

The Cowboys traveled to SoFi Stadium to take on Justin Herbert and the Kellen Moore-led Chargers. Moore had been the Cowboys' offensive coordinator between 2019 and 2022. The Cowboys and the Chargers exchanged points throughout the game, including a point when Jalen Tolbert muffed a catch that led to a Chargers touchdown. The Cowboys responded by kicking a field goal to make the game 20–17, which proved to be the final score. The score drew a coincidence to the 2021 season when the Cowboys and Chargers played each other, which was also a 20–17 Cowboys win over the Chargers. The Cowboys defense stood tall in the final minutes of the game, with Micah Parsons sacking Justin Herbert, with Stephon Gilmore intercepting Herbert to seal the Cowboys win. The win improved the Cowboys to 4–2 on the season.

The Cowboys traveled to Philadelphia to face the league-leading Eagles in a crucial NFC East showdown. After a back-and-forth first half, Dallas took a 17–14 lead into the locker room. However, the Eagles answered with touchdowns on their first two second-half drives to take a 28–17 lead into the fourth quarter. The Cowboys drove to the Eagles' 1-yard line, where Dak Prescott threw a fourth down pass to tight end Luke Schoonmaker; initially ruled a touchdown, replay reviews confirmed that Schoonmaker was downed prior to breaking the plane, turning the ball over on downs. Dallas got a second chance after forcing a three-and-out, and this time cashed in with a Jalen Tolbert touchdown reception. However, Prescott stepped out of bounds on the two-point conversion, making it a 28–23 game. After failing to score on their next drive, the Cowboys got one final chance to take the lead with 46 seconds remaining. Prescott and the Cowboys drove to the 6-yard line in under 20 seconds, thanks to numerous penalties committed by Philadelphia's defense, but two pre-snap penalties by the offense and a costly sack by Josh Sweat moved them back to the 27. On the game's final play, CeeDee Lamb was stopped short of the goal line as time expired and fumbled, sealing the Cowboys' fate. Dallas dropped to 5–3 on the season with the 28–23 loss, and suffered their fourth loss in their past five visits to Philadelphia.

The Green Bay Packers losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as the Atlanta Falcons losing to the Carolina Panthers allowed the Cowboys to clinch their third straight playoff berth before taking the field.
The Cowboys struggled all game, as they allowed Bills running back James Cook to dominate, and the Cowboys' offense was limited to just 195 total yards. It also marked the third consecutive time the Cowboys failed to defeat the Bills. Dallas has not won against Buffalo since 2011.

Following the win, the Cowboys went undefeated at home for the 2023 season and had their 16th consecutive home victory. This was the first time the Cowboys finished 8–0 at home since 1980 and 1981.[19][20] This game was highly controversial because of an illegal touching penalty called on Taylor Decker. Brad Allen and his officiating crew were fired from the postseason because of the call.[21]
