Which NFL teams regularly play on Thanksgiving?

Two teams are regular Thanksgiving Games participants: the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. The Lions started the tradition in 1934, while the Cowboys joined them in the 1960s, except 1975-1977.

The Detroit Lions have a 37-44-2 record on Thanksgiving. They were expected to curb a six-game losing streak in 2023 but were ultimately dispatched by Jordan Love's Green Bay Packers, who beat them 29-22.

On the other hand, the Dallas Cowboys are 32-22-1 all-time on Thanksgiving. They most recently annihilated and crushed the Washington Commanders in their 2023 Thanksgiving Game, 45-10.

Jacksonville Jaguars have yet to play on Thanksgiving Day. They joined the league as an expansion franchise in 1993 and have yet to feature on the holiday during its first three decades.

The 2024 NFL season will be yet another one where the Jaguars are ignored for participation in the holiday game. Fans of the franchise can hope for better luck in future fixture releases.
