The NFL is hitting Rio de Janeiro this Sunday, Sept. 27, for its second international game of the season, a massive Week 3 showdown between Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens and Dak Prescott’s Dallas Cowboys! This isn’t just another game, it’s the first time the league has ever touched down in Rio, bringing that gridiron glory to Maracanã Stadium, a place steeped in sports history.
Rio Lights Up for Ravens vs. Cowboys
Picture this: Maracanã Stadium, a venue that’s hosted World Cups and the 2016 Summer Olympics, now set for NFL action. How cool is that? This is a huge deal for the league, marking their first venture into Rio, after hitting Sao Paolo last season. And for the Cowboys? It’s their first international game since way back in 2014. The Ravens, they’re a bit more seasoned global travelers, having played abroad in 2023. You know these teams are ready to put on a show for a whole new audience.
And speaking of shows, they’re not holding back for halftime either. We’re talking Ricky Martin and Brazilian musician Pedro Sampaio taking the stage! This game isn’t just about the Xs and Os, it’s a full-on global spectacle. You’ve got two of the league’s most exciting quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson for the Ravens and Dak Prescott for the Cowboys, leading their squads into a historic matchup. Who isn’t hyped to see what kind of fireworks these guys will light up in Brazil?
