Cowboys to Face Ravens in NFL’s First Rio Game 2026

The NFL’s expansion into Brazil continues as the Dallas Cowboys are set to play the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium during Week 3 of the 2026 season. The matchup will be the league’s first international game in Brazil and one of nine global games scheduled for the year.

The Cowboys, who last played abroad in 2014 in London, will face the Ravens, who have previously played in London in 2017 and 2023. Quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson are expected to headline the game, which follows the NFL’s first regular‑season game in Melbourne, Australia, earlier that week.
