Dallas Cowboys Internship 2027–2028: Programs, Deadlines & How to Apply

Last updated: October 2026

The Dallas Cowboys post internships one role at a time on TeamWork Online, and one is open right now: a Marketing Intern for The Star District in Frisco, posted in late September 2026 for a 1-year, part-time term of up to 30 hours a week. Read the qualifications before you apply: the posting lists a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, public relations, advertising or a related field, so it reads as a role for graduates. Earlier Cowboys internships were open to students. Here's the cycle in plain words: the Cowboys have no summer class, and the next batch of 6-month partnership, communications and video internships is expected between November 2026 and January 2027, based on five irregular postings.

Quick Facts

One Cowboys internship was open on 17 October 2026: Marketing Intern, The Star District, 1-year and part-time. It requires a bachelor's degree. More roles are expected from about November 2026.

The open role asks for event marketing, email and social media, so a finished project helps. Externships are short, remote programs where you complete a real project for a real company, most commonly over 8 weeks. The Beats by Dre Creative Advertising Strategy Externship fits brand and activation work, and the Consumer Behavior Insights Externship with Generous Brands fits consumer insight.

What Is a Dallas Cowboys Internship?

A Dallas Cowboys internship is a single-role, part-time position with the NFL club's business operations, posted on TeamWork Online. The club has no named intern class. The live role supports marketing for The Star District, the shopping, dining and entertainment destination at The Star in Frisco, and reports to The Star's Senior Marketing Manager. Past roles, read from archived copies of the Cowboys' own postings, include Corporate Partnership Marketing & Operations, Corporate Partnership Sales & Strategy, Public Relations, Corporate Communications and Video Production, mostly based at The Star with game days at AT&T Stadium. Not internships: Pro Shops sales associates and key holders, and the 50/50 charity raffle sellers, which are retail and part-time jobs.

When Do Dallas Cowboys Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?

The Cowboys don't have one opening date. Archived copies of their own TeamWork postings show a Public Relations internship around 18 July 2024, Corporate Partnership Sales & Strategy around 26 November 2024, Video Production around 10 January 2026 and Partnership Marketing & Operations around 7 May 2026, with the current Star District role about 26 September 2026. These dates come from the age stamps on the archived pages, so treat them as accurate to within a day. They are irregular, so the next batch is an expectation, not a schedule.

How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.

Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open

The Cowboys post on a rolling basis: each role is posted on its own, states no closing date, and can come down when filled. We can't say how long any role stayed open, because TeamWork shows closed postings only as closed. The live Star District posting uses an interest-expression apply flow that you must finish on a follow-up screen, and an unfinished application isn't considered. Apply in the first week a role posts, and finish every screen.

Which Dallas Cowboys Internship Programs Should You Target?

These are the internships the Cowboys have posted on TeamWork Online in the past two years. Only the first is open now.

All come from the Cowboys' own postings on TeamWork Online. The board also lists Pro Shops retail roles and a Training Camp Internship we couldn't read; none are covered here.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

Eligibility differs by role, so read each posting. For the live and the archived ones:

• Star District Marketing Intern (open now): a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, public relations, advertising or a related field, with an internship preferred. This reads as a role for graduates.

• Partnership Marketing & Operations (2026): undergraduate or graduate students in business, sport management or a related field were preferred.

• Sales & Strategy (2024): a bachelor's degree preferred, or in pursuit of one.

• Video Production (2026): graduated or currently enrolled in a related program, preferred.

• Hours: occasional evenings, weekends and special events.

• Work authorization, GPA and academic credit: not stated in the postings we read.

Can a Current Student Apply?

For the open Star District role, the qualifications list a bachelor's degree, so a current student may not qualify unless they finish before the start; the posting doesn't say. The earlier partnership, sales and video internships were written for students as well as graduates, which is why the November to January batch is the better target for undergraduates.

What Skills Do the Dallas Cowboys Look For, and How Do You Build Them?

The postings are too few and too different to chart, so here is what they ask for. Marketing and events (Star District): Microsoft Office, WordPress, email marketing platforms and project-management tools, plus knowledge of Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Partnerships: contract fulfillment, activation and proof-of-performance documentation. Communications and video: media tracking, press-conference planning and Adobe Creative Cloud, including Premiere Pro.

Note: We don't show a skills bar chart for the Cowboys: only one internship posting was open on 17 October 2026, and the earlier postings come from archived copies of different roles, which is too few and too varied to count honestly. The skills above come from a full read of the live posting and the archived ones.

Build These Skills Before You Apply

Each skill below comes from a Cowboys posting and maps to a remote Externship you can finish before the next role posts.

What Is the Dallas Cowboys Application and Interview Process Like?

The Cowboys don't publish an interview format. This is what the postings show:

1. Set up TeamWork. Create a free profile and turn on job alerts for the Dallas Cowboys board.

2. Apply to one role. Click Apply Now, then complete the follow-up screen, because the posting says the application isn't considered otherwise.

3. Match the brief. The Star District role wants marketing, events and digital tools; partnership roles want business or sport management.

4. Interview. Steps aren't published.

5. Plan logistics. Budget for housing and transport in Dallas-Fort Worth; the sales intern posting says the intern is responsible for both.

The Cowboys' careers page points candidates to TeamWork Online as the main route.

What the Community Says

We found no first-hand Cowboys intern accounts on Reddit. The results were bot reposts of TeamWork postings, an old NFL-wide thread and Dallas Mavericks roles, so there are no cards here.

How Do You Stand Out for a Cowboys Internship?

Three moves. First, read the degree line. The open Star District role lists a bachelor's, so if you are still a student, put your energy into the November to January batch and keep your alerts on. Second, plan for the length: Cowboys internships have run 6 months to a year at up to 30 hours a week, so say plainly that you can commit. Third, show retail and event marketing proof, such as a campus event you ran or a small campaign with results. The Cowboys don't publish an applicant count or a conversion rate, so treat the internship as a way in and ask about full-time paths once you're there.

FAQ

Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Dallas Cowboys internship?

No, and the Cowboys have no summer class. One internship is open now: a 1-year Marketing Intern for The Star District, which lists a bachelor's degree, so it reads as a role for graduates. Student-friendly roles are expected between November 2026 and January 2027.

Are any Dallas Cowboys internships open right now?

One. On 17 October 2026 the Cowboys' TeamWork board listed the Marketing Intern, The Star District in Frisco, 1-year and part-time at up to 30 hours a week. The other postings were retail, engineering, medical and other jobs. It states no closing date.

When will the next Cowboys internships be posted?

Expected from about November 2026 to January 2027, with another batch possible around May to July 2027. That's projected from five irregular postings between July 2024 and May 2026, so confidence is low to medium. Turn on TeamWork alerts for the Cowboys board.

Are Dallas Cowboys internships paid?

Two earlier postings say so: Corporate Partnership Sales & Strategy in 2024 says the position is paid, and Video Production in 2026 is tagged a paid internship. The live Star District posting doesn't state pay, and no hourly rate is published on any Cowboys posting we read.

Who can apply for a Cowboys internship?

It depends on the role. The open Star District internship lists a bachelor's degree in marketing or a related field. The earlier partnership and video internships preferred students or recent graduates. No posting we read states a GPA or work-authorization requirement, so check each application.

How long is a Dallas Cowboys internship?

The roles we read ran about 6 months for partnership and public relations at up to 30 hours a week, up to a year for the Star District marketing role, and up to 10 hours a week for Video Production. Each posting sets its own term and hours.

Where do Cowboys interns work?

At The Star, the Cowboys' headquarters and district in Frisco, Texas, with game days at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The work is on-site and no remote option is stated. The 2024 sales posting made the intern responsible for their own housing and transportation in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Do Dallas Cowboys interns get full-time offers?

The Cowboys don't publish a conversion rate or class size. Treat a long, part-time internship as a way to learn how the club's business teams work and to meet the people who hire, and ask about full-time paths once you're inside rather than counting on an offer.

One Cowboys internship is open now and more are expected from about November. Set your TeamWork alert today, and if you want a finished project to bring to the application, a remote Externship takes about 5 to 10 hours a week.
