Baltimore, MD, September 27, 2026 — The National Football League (NFL) has announced plans for an upcoming regular-season game to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The matchup will feature two prominent franchises, the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys.

This event marks a significant expansion for the NFL into the South American market, with Rio de Janeiro selected as the host city. The specific date and venue within Rio de Janeiro for this international game were not immediately disclosed in the initial announcement.

Both the Baltimore Ravens, based in Maryland, and the Dallas Cowboys, representing Texas, are well-established teams within the league. The decision to bring an NFL game to Brazil underscores the league’s ongoing strategy to broaden its global reach and engage with international fan bases.

Further details regarding ticket availability, kickoff times, and broadcasting arrangements are expected to be released by the NFL at a later date. This will be one of the few NFL regular-season games hosted outside of the United States in recent years.
