California has been the summer home to the Cowboys for 45 years, including nearly the last 20 in Oxnard.

The Cowboys made sure Oxnard will continue to host training camp for at least five more, inking a new deal to keep the team in Oxnard through 2030.

Recently, the city of Oxnard City Council approved a new deal on the five-year extension, after the most-recent three-year contract expires at the end of this camp.

Oxnard, California, will continue to host the Dallas Cowboys training camp through 2030 after the team and city officials inked a new

five-year deal.

"We've had a wonderful experience and partnership with the City of Oxnard and community for almost two decades now and value the

relationship greatly," Cowboys spokesman Tad Carper said in a statement. "Training camp in Oxnard is always exciting and something we cherish with our fans every season. We look forward to being in Oxnard for many years to come."

The Cowboys first went to Oxnard for a two-week stay at camp in 2001. Since then, they've been back to Oxnard 18 times. Since 2012, the Cowboys have been to Oxnard every year, aside from the 2020 camp that was kept in Frisco due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Even before spending the 1990s in Texas (Austin & Wichita Falls), the Cowboys made California its home from 1963-89 at Thousand Oaks, Calif.

The Cowboys will leave for camp on July 20 with the official report date for all players on July 21. The team will practice at the two fields behind the newly-renamed Staybridge Suites in Oxnard and will break camp on Aug. 14. The Cowboys have a scheduled practice against the Los Angeles Rams in Oxnard on Aug. 5, just a few days before the Cowboys travel 60 miles north to play the Rams in the preseason opener on Aug. 9 SoFi Stadium.
