It's been over a month since the Cowboys learned they'd play a 2026 regular-season game in Rio de Janiero, the first ever to be staged in that famed city.
Now they know who they'll face.
The Cowboys will reportedly square off in an interconference matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Giana Han of the Baltimore Banner, who posted the news Wednesday afternoon on X.
The date of the game has yet to be officially announced, though anonymous league sources informed the Banner it would be a Week 3 contest.
What is known is that the game will be staged at Maracanã Stadium, a popular soccer venue and the site of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The venue has an official capacity of about 78,000, though it can be modified to hold more than 150,000.
The Cowboys would serve as the "home" team for the game, which will be the club's first international trip since 2014, when they defeated Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium in London.
Historically, the Cowboys have played the Ravens just seven times, with Baltimore owning an impressive 6-1 advantage in the all-time series. The two clubs last met in the 2024 season, with the Ravens taking a 28-6 blowout lead into the fourth quarter before Dallas was able to narrow the gap to its 28-25 final score.
