The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys remain scheduled to play in Rio de Janeiro next Sunday, eight days from now, despite questions about the Maracanã Stadium field. The game is still set to be held inside the stadium.

Agustín Rossi, Flamengo’s goalkeeper, recently described the surface as having bumps across it. He said he hoped the field would be improved before the NFL game. The Cowboys remain designated as the home team, with Baltimore listed as the road team. Those designations have not changed, and the condition of the field at kickoff remains uncertain.

Dallas will first meet Washington Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET before traveling to Brazil. Baltimore is set to play New Orleans at 1 p.m. ET. Sports.yahoo.com reported the information on Sept. 19, 2026.
