Back during the week of the Super Bowl it was reported that the Dallas Cowboys would be playing a game in Brazil in 2026. On Wednesday, April Fools Day, the Baltimore Banner reported that Dallas will square off against the Baltimore Ravens in the game in question. The Ravens are headed to Brazil.

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 Stadium will be the first of at least three in Rio over the next five years.
