The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys remain set to meet at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium next Sunday, eight days from now. The game is still scheduled to be played inside the stadium, although questions have emerged about the field.

Agustín Rossi, a Flamengo goalkeeper, recently questioned the playing surface. He described bumps across the field and said he hoped conditions would be better by the time of the football game. The Cowboys will remain the designated home team, with Baltimore listed as the road team. Those designations and the game’s status have not changed, while the field’s condition by kickoff remains uncertain.

Before the Brazil trip, Dallas is set to play Washington on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET. Baltimore’s scheduled opponent is New Orleans, with that game set for 1 p.m. ET. Sports.yahoo.com reported the information on Sept. 19, 2026.
