"This will be the third straight year the NFL will have a regular-season game in Brazil with the first two played in Sao Paulo. It will be the Cowboys' first international game as the home team and their first international overall since 2014, when they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London. With nine home games on the schedule, the Cowboys were willing to forgo a date at AT&T Stadium, per league rules."
"The Cowboys were a candidate to play the Rams in Melbourne, but Los Angeles opted to protect that game for SoFi Stadium, and instead will face the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, as announced earlier Thursday. The date and opponent for the Cowboys' game in Rio will be released in the spring. Aside from the NFC East foes, the Cowboys have home games scheduled against the Arizona Cardinals, Jaguars, 49ers, Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baltimore Ravens."
The Dallas Cowboys will host the NFL's first regular-season game in Rio de Janeiro in 2026. The 2026 matchup will be the third consecutive year the NFL stages a regular-season game in Brazil after two games in Sao Paulo. The Cowboys' Rio game will be their first international home game and their first international appearance since defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in 2014. The game will be played at Maracana Stadium, which seats more than 70,000 and hosted World Cup finals and the 2016 Olympics Opening Ceremony. The 2026 season will feature a record nine international games across multiple global cities.
