Published April 1, 2026 · Updated April 1, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The Dallas Cowboys will face the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro during Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season, according to multiple reports.

The NFL will expand its international presence with the first regular-season game in Rio de Janeiro, featuring the Cowboys and Ravens. The game is scheduled for Week 3 of the 2026 season and will be played at Maracanã Stadium, which hosted the 2014 FIFA World Cup final.

The Cowboys haven't played an international game since 2014 when they faced the Jaguars in London. This matchup will serve as one of the league's record nine international games during the 2026 season. The NFL has previously held games in São Paulo and is targeting Brazil's 36 million NFL fans with this expansion.
