The NFL announced that the Dallas Cowboys will face the Baltimore Ravens in the league's first game in Rio de Janeiro during Week 3 of the 2026 season.

The Cowboys-Ravens matchup will be played at Maracanã Stadium, famous for hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup final. This will mark the Cowboys' first international game since 2014, when they played the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

The NFL has been expanding its international presence, with the league planning at least three regular-season games in Rio over the next five years. The 2026 season will feature a record nine international games, including the first regular-season contest in Melbourne, Australia.
