The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have been everywhere throughout the NFL offseason. We saw the squad take a five-stop tour across Texas, where they performed for sold-out crowds, and they even made a late-night television appearance to perform on Jimmy Fallon.

Now, before the start of the 2025-26 regular season, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are back in primetime.

Kelli Finglass, director of the DCC, will be joined by choreographer Judy Trammell and cheerleaders Camille Sturdivant, McKenna Gehrke, and Madeline Salter will appear on Thursday night's episode of Celebrity Family Feud against the Harlem Globetrotters.
