Where can I check the Colts vs. Cowboys live score?

Start with the official NFL matchup page. It is tied to this specific 2026 Week 9 fixture, rather than a general search result that might show a previous meeting. The NFL score hub also groups the day’s games and lets you select Cowboys at Colts. On either page, look for the score beside DAL and IND, the quarter, the game clock and the designation FINAL if play has ended.

For team-specific reporting, use the Indianapolis Colts game center or the Dallas Cowboys game center. Their game pages have links to scoring, box scores and team context, although individual sections or web caches may not update at exactly the same time. If two pages disagree, check the game clock and whether a score is marked final before sharing the result. A search engine’s score card may lag behind the live play-by-play feed.

What time is Colts vs. Cowboys in Australia?

The official kickoff time is Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Indianapolis Eastern Standard Time (UTC−05:00). U.S. daylight saving time ended on November 1, so November 8 is not on Eastern Daylight Time. Australia has different time zones, and daylight saving time applies only in some states and territories.

The date changes to Monday for Australian viewers, even though the official NFL fixture is listed under Sunday, November 8 in Indianapolis. This distinction is especially useful when searching for replays, highlights and local television listings.

How can Australian fans watch Colts vs. Cowboys?

For viewers in Australia who specifically want to follow this matchup, NFL Game Pass via DAZN is the most direct subscription option to investigate. The NFL’s official Australia viewing guide lists DAZN as the provider of Game Pass, which offers access to the NFL schedule, live games and replays, subject to applicable terms and rights restrictions. The NFL’s 2026 Game Pass overview also describes condensed games and highlights for people unable to watch live.

The NFL’s Australian guide additionally lists ESPN and 7mate/7plus as broadcast partners. ESPN programming is available through supported Australian services, including Disney+, while 7mate and 7plus show a selection of NFL games. However, a network’s general NFL rights do not establish that Colts–Cowboys was included in that day’s specific Australian lineup. Check the service’s actual listing before purchasing access. The Disney+ Australia NFL guide confirms its ESPN-based weekly NFL coverage.

In the United States, the Colts announced FOX as the television network for this game. That U.S. broadcast designation is not, by itself, an Australian channel listing. NFL+ live-video rules are also market-specific; do not assume an NFL+ subscription purchased for U.S. coverage will provide the same live feeds in Australia.

What has happened in the game, and what could affect the result?

The latest independently time-stamped score report reviewed for this article described a 20–20 tie with 5:56 remaining in the fourth quarter. It followed a late Indianapolis field goal. The score and remaining clock are a historical checkpoint, not a claim about the result at the moment a reader opens this page. A later touchdown, field goal, turnover, overtime period or final whistle can change the status; check the NFL live game center to establish what happened next.

Dallas entered Week 9 with a 3–5 record, while Indianapolis entered at 2–6, according to the official matchup listings. That makes the result consequential for each club’s regular-season standing. A victory would improve the winner’s record; a loss would deepen the other team’s deficit. Those consequences are straightforward, but any postseason forecast depends on the remaining schedule and other teams’ results, not just this game.

How do I follow the game without video?

If you cannot stream a match early on a Monday morning in Australia, keep the NFL score page open and review scoring drives, turnovers, possession changes and the box score when available. The Colts’ official game-day listening guide lists Indianapolis radio coverage on 93.5/107.5 The Fan and 97.1 HANK FM; it also explains that live audio-stream availability can vary by device and region. Confirm your eligibility rather than assuming a local radio station’s stream is available internationally.

After the game, the most useful next check is the official final score alongside the quarter-by-quarter breakdown. Then review quarterback passing figures, rushing production, turnovers, penalty yardage and any confirmed injury news. This separates what decided the game from general pregame speculation. The Colts schedule and Cowboys schedule list upcoming opponents; both teams are due back in action on November 15, against Miami and San Francisco respectively, subject to NFL schedule updates.
