Dallas Cowboys fans heading to Oxnard for 2026 training camp will have a clear path to practice, but not much room for hesitation. Open sessions run from July 29 through Aug. 18, and admission to the public practices is free as long as there’s space left.
The setup is straightforward: general admission is first-come, first-served, and once capacity is reached, that’s it. Fans can enter through 2501 Ventura Road, and those with general admission access can get onto the field two hours before practice starts at 11:45 a.m. PDT.
For fans looking for a little more, the Cowboys are also offering “Dallas Cowboys Fan Experiences Tickets.” Those tickets let buyers in 30 minutes before the general public and come with added perks.
Sideline access is priced at $20, while Yaamava' Hospitaliy Deck access costs $100 to $150. The $20 sideline ticket applies to practices Monday through Thursday, and the higher-priced deck access is for Friday through Sunday sessions.
Parking is not included.
Parking follows the same first-come, first-served approach. The entrance is also at 2501 Ventura Road, and the team recommends carpooling and ride-sharing.
Small vehicles will cost $20 per day, while bigger vehicles will run $40 per day. Parking lots open about three hours before practice begins at 11:45 a.m.
PDT.
Anyone planning to attend should be ready for the heat, since the practices are outdoors and held in the afternoon. Getting there early matters too, because the available spots fill on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cowboys RB Battle Has One Twist Fans Arent Talking About
As training camp nears, the Cowboys backup running back picture is getting tighter, and Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah have both made a strong early impression with their development and burst. But this is more than a simple youth movement at the position, because Dallas also has to sort out how much value it wants to place on a back who can help in other phases of the game.
Malik Davis has a case that goes beyond the depth chart at running back. His work on special teams gives him a different path to the roster than Blue or Mafah, and that matters for a team that has to account for the loss of C.J. Goodwin and the possibility that Ryan Flournoy takes on a bigger offensive role. Davis has handled key special teams responsibilities before, and that kind of versatility could end up being the detail that keeps this battle alive well into camp. [Read more 🡒]
Cowboys Already Have One Big Concern About Jake Ferguson's New Deal
Jake Fergusons new deal gives the Cowboys a clear answer at tight end, but it also puts a spotlight on what theyre actually paying for. The four-year, $52 million extension with $30 million guaranteed makes him one of the leagues highest-paid players at the position, and that kind of contract brings expectations that go well beyond catches and volume.
Ferguson did post a career-high in receptions last season, yet the bigger concern is whether the production matched the role. His yards after catch dipped, his impact on a per-play basis faded, and the Cowboys now have to sort out whether the extension reflects the player they believe he is or the one they still hope he can become.

Cowboys Rookie Suddenly Has A Real Shot In Unsettled Secondary
The cornerback picture in Dallas is still very much in flux as the 2026 season approaches, and that has created a real opening for a rookie who might not have seemed like much more than a developmental piece a few weeks ago. Cobie Durant, Shavon Revel Jr. and Caelen Carson are all in the mix, but none has separated enough to make the job distribution feel settled, especially with the spot opposite Daron Bland still hanging in the balance.
Devin Moore, the Cowboys fourth-round pick, has started to look like more than just depth as live contact practices get underway. His physical style gives him a chance to press up on receivers and help in the run game, and in a secondary where opportunity is tied closely to availability and consistency, that kind of profile can matter quickly if the competition stays open.
