The Cowboys-Ravens matchup will be played at Maracanã Stadium, which hosted the 2014 FIFA World Cup final. This game marks the NFL's expansion into Rio following successful season-opening games in São Paulo in 2024 and 2025.
The Cowboys haven't played internationally since 2014, when they faced the Jaguars in London. The Ravens have previously played in London in 2017 and 2023. This Rio game will be one of the NFL's record nine international games in 2026, including the first regular-season matchup in Melbourne, Australia.
