NFL Rio game: time and where to watch Cowboys v Ravens at Maracanã | OneFootball

American football league game takes place at the Maracanã for the first time

It’s ‘Brazilian Super Bowl’ day at the Maracanã. This Sunday (27), the Dallas Cowboys (USA) face the Baltimore Ravens (USA) at 5:25 p.m. (Brasília time), in a matchup valid for the third week of the NFL regular season.

For fans interested in watching the NFL Rio Game, the matchup will be broadcast live on SporTV (pay TV). In addition, GETV (on YouTube) will also show the game. Finally, Globo will air the halftime show, which will feature performances by DJ Pedro Sampaio and Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin.

HOW ARE THE TEAMS COMING IN?

The Cowboys and Ravens each have one win and one loss this season. In other words, the teams have identical records in their divisions. However, the game in Rio is crucial for the rest of the season. That’s because the winner will have a positive record, while the loser will be left in an uncomfortable position, with two losses in three games.

The Cowboys, the home team for the game, are coming off a 37-20 win last Sunday (20) over the Washington Commanders (USA). Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens arrive in Rio after an unexpected 24-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints (USA).

FIRST NFL GAME IN RIO?

The NFL will hold its first game in Rio de Janeiro, marking a new chapter after the league’s first two games in São Paulo in 2024 and 2025. In this context, the matchup on Rio soil will also represent Dallas’ first international game outside the United States since 2014, when the team beat the Jacksonville Jaguars (USA) in London.

For their part, the Ravens will play the third international game in their history, having previously played in London in the 2017 and 2023 seasons. During that span, the team recorded one win and one loss abroad.

DID THE COWBOYS TRAIN AT FLAMENGO’S TRAINING CENTER?

The Dallas Cowboys used Flamengo’s Ninho do Urubu training center to hold practices in Rio de Janeiro. Amid that, players from the Rio club, Léo Ortiz and Emerson Royal, closely followed one of the American team’s preparation days this Friday (25) ahead of the clash with the Baltimore Ravens.

The Flamengo players began the experience by attending the press conference of Dallas head coach Brian Schottenheimer, held in the youth football auditorium. After that, they headed to the field to watch the team’s training session.

FLAMENGO PRODUCT LINE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NFL

Flamengo fans who enjoy the NFL were recently able to combine both passions. At the beginning of September, Flamengo announced a partnership with the American football league and launched a clothing line that references both the Rio club and the North American organization.

Altogether, Flamengo fans can choose from shirts, jackets, and hoodies. The cheapest item costs R$399.99, while the most expensive product in the collection costs R$1,199.99.
