New NFL Schedule Update Reveals Cowboys vs. Ravens for Brazil International Game

The Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens will have some international flair added to their showdown during the 2026 season.

The Cowboys announced on Friday that they will meet the Ravens in Brazil for the 2026 Rio Game in Week 3 of the upcoming campaign:

Per ESPN's Jamison Hensley, the game will be played at historic Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the same site of the 1950 and 2014 World Cup finals in soccer and the opening ceremony for the 2016 Olympics. The stadium holds a capacity of more than 78,000.

This marks the third straight year that the NFL will play a regular-season game in Brazil, as the league held games in Sao Paulo in 2024 and 2025. The Rio Game is one of a record nine international games coming to the 2026 season. The league will also visit Paris, Munich, Madrid, Mexico City, Melbourne and London, the latter of which will see three games.

The Cowboys were previously announced as the host team for the Rio Game in early February. Dallas has not played an international game since 2014, when it met the Jacksonville Jaguars in London at Wembley Stadium.

The Ravens played in London against the Jaguars in 2017 and the Tennessee Titans in 2023.

Both Dallas and Baltimore are hoping to contend for a title in 2026 after missing the playoffs last season, so their meeting in Brazil in Week 3 is sure to be an exciting matchup.
