In a historic moment for American sports, the Dallas Cowboys have been officially recognized as the best and most unified football team in the world, a rare distinction jointly awarded by ESPN, Netflix, and the Guinness World Records.
The unprecedented honor celebrates the team’s on-field excellence, locker room culture, and global impact—cementing the Cowboys’ place not just as “America’s Team,” but now a worldwide football benchmark.

In a joint statement released this morning, the three organizations praised the Cowboys for setting “a new standard in competitive consistency, brand identity, and player cohesion.” This marks the first time in sports history that a team has been given this designation from a trio of such high-profile institutions.
“The Dallas Cowboys have redefined what it means to be a team—not just in terms of championships, but in culture, unity, and global influence,” said an ESPN spokesperson.
🎥 Netflix’s Role: More Than a Docuseries
Netflix, which recently debuted its hit behind-the-scenes documentary “Stars, Stripes & Sundays: Inside the Cowboys’ Dynasty”, credited the team’s extraordinary chemistry and leadership dynamics as “next-level.”
“The cameras didn’t just capture football—they captured a family,” said executive producer Ava Martinez. “From the coaching staff to the rookies, the level of discipline and brotherhood was undeniable.”
