The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys are still scheduled to play at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium next Sunday, although the condition of the field has drawn attention. The Cowboys are designated as the home team, and the Ravens are designated as the road team. Those designations have not changed.

Agustín Rossi, a Flamengo goalkeeper, recently said the surface has bumps across it. He also expressed hope that the field will be improved before the game. It remains unclear whether conditions will change before kickoff, which is eight days away.

Both teams are scheduled to play before traveling to Brazil. Dallas is set to face Washington on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, while Baltimore is scheduled to play New Orleans at 1 p.m. ET. Sports.yahoo.com reported the information on Sept. 19, 2026.
