NFL: Cowboys train at Flamengo today before Maracanã clash; schedule | OneFootball

American team uses Ninho do Urubu, Flamengo’s training center, before facing the Baltimore Ravens (USA) at the Maracanã

The Dallas Cowboys (USA) will train this Friday (25) in the afternoon at Ninho do Urubu, Flamengo’s training center. The session will take place on one of the fields used by the club’s professional squad throughout the season. In this way, the NFL franchise is preparing in the city for its matchup against the Baltimore Ravens (USA) this Sunday (27) at the Maracanã.

How was the Dallas Cowboys’ stay at Ninho do Urubu organized?

In addition to training, members of the Dallas Cowboys will hold a press conference at Flamengo’s training center. This means their time at the facility includes both physical activity and media commitments. Thus, the choice of Ninho do Urubu highlights the close relationship between the NFL organization and Rio de Janeiro clubs during game week.

What is the schedule leading up to the game at the Maracanã?

The American team’s schedule in Rio de Janeiro continues this Saturday (26). On that day, the players will inspect the Maracanã pitch, the venue for the game. Therefore, the visit to the stadium comes directly before the NFL’s debut in the city. Before the American league arrived, the pitch had already been reinforced with synthetic fibers. However, that measure was related to wear caused by the rain in Rio de Janeiro, not to Sunday’s game (27).

Does the Dallas Cowboys’ presence affect Flamengo’s routine?

No. The Dallas Cowboys’ presence at Ninho do Urubu does not interfere with Flamengo’s schedule. That is because the team managed by Leonardo Jardim had already trained this Friday (25) in the morning. In this way, Flamengo and the American team are sharing the facility without any scheduling conflicts.

When is the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens?

The game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens is scheduled for this Sunday (27) at 5:25 p.m. Brasília time, at the Maracanã. The matchup is part of Week 3 of the 2026/27 NFL season. However, the game is already historic before kickoff. It will be the first time Rio de Janeiro hosts an official game of the American league.

While Dallas uses Flamengo’s facilities, the Baltimore Ravens are training at Lonier, Botafogo’s training center. In this way, the NFL will play nine games outside the United States this season, after São Paulo hosted the event over the last two years.
