What time and channel do the Cowboys play today in Week 5?

Minus that dreadful Week 3 showing against the Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys have looked fantastic to start the 2023 NFL season.

Mike McCarthy & Co. completed the New York sweep in the first two weeks, defeating the Giants and Jets by a combined score of 70-10.

And coming off their lone defeat of the season, the Cowboys bounced back in Week 4 with a lopsided 38-3 victory over the New England Patriots, giving Bill Belichick the worst loss of his entire career.

But things get much more difficult for America's Team in Week 5 as Dallas travels west for a showdown with the rival San Francisco 49ers, one of the two remaining unbeaten teams in the NFL, the other being the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Niners have shown virtually zero weaknesses on either side of the ball during their 4-0 start, averaging 31.25 points per game while allowing just 14.5.

What's wild is that the Cowboys' point differential is actually better. Scoring just one fewer point than the 49ers, Dallas averages 31.0 points per game. But the defense has allowed just 10.25 points per game. And, yes, that's with the 28 Micah Parsons & Co. allowed against Arizona.

So we're in for quite the showdown between these two legendary franchises. Exactly what time and what channel can you catch the Cowboys-Niners battle? Let's take a look.
