As the NFL continues to expand its international presence, Melbourne, Australia, is a new city the league is visiting. Exactly who will be playing down under is not yet known, with rumors beginning to float around during Super Bowl week. And according to one report, the Dallas Cowboys might be a team to watch.

Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram said Melbourne is “one location to watch” for the Cowboys’ international game in 2026. Some have floated the idea of Mexico City being a possibility, given the franchise’s near proximity. However, Harris went on to explain why Dallas might not wind up making the short flight.

“Yes, Mexico City makes the most sense for Dallas, but don’t be surprised if the Cowboys get sent elsewhere internationally,” Harris said via X. “Dallas has a strong presence in Mexico already. The league could look to build that presence elsewhere. One location to watch: Melbourne.”

In a previous tweet, Harris also pointed out that Jones expressed his desire to play in Mexico City. The topic once again came up on Monday when San Francisco 49ers owner/CEO Jed York expressed his interest in playing there. Potentially of note — the Cowboys and 49ers are slated to play each other in 2026, scheduled to be in AT&T Stadium for the time being.
