The Baltimore Banner's Giana Han reported Wednesday the Dallas Cowboys will host the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro during the 2026 NFL regular season.
The Dallas Cowboys already knew they were one of the two teams set to visit Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the 2026 NFL regular season. According to one report, the Cowboys now know their opponent.
The Baltimore Banner’s Giana Han reported Wednesday the Cowboys will face the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil. Han also added in her report the game will occur during late September.
“The Ravens are headed to Brazil,” wrote Han.
“In Week 3, the Ravens will take on the Dallas Cowboys, who are the home team for the first NFL game to be played in Rio de Janeiro, two league sources told The Banner. They requested anonymity because they were not cleared to discuss the schedule publicly.
“The game in Maracaña will be the first of at least three in Rio over the next five years.”
Based on the calendar, September 27 is the Sunday of Week 3 in the 2026 NFL schedule. But it’s not yet known if the game will kick off on Sunday or another day of the week.
The NFL’s first game in Australia this September will be on a Wednesday. But that’s the opening contest of the 2026 slate.
The NFL held a game in Brazil during the 2024 and 2025 regular seasons. Each contest was on a Friday night during Week 1.
Those contests took place at Arena Corinthians in São Paulo, Brazil.
The Cowboys last faced the Ravens during September of the 2024 season. The Ravens defeated the Cowboys in Dallas 28-25.
