Dallas Cowboys to Play First Ever Game in Rio de Janeiro

The NFL has played in Brazil the past two seasons. Both of those games took place in Sao Paulo. Packers/Eagles in 2024 and the Chiefs/Chargers in 2025. Looks like the Dallas Cowboys will be playing an opponent to be announced at a later date. This is what we know so far.

When the Dallas Cowboys come, you go big or go home. Literally the biggest venue in the entire country is Maracanã Stadium. For a sporting event it can hold just under 79,000 people. However, for concerts they have had well over 175,000 in this place. It was built in 1950 for the World Cup and has hosted several of those games in the past several decades. The soccer teams Flamengo, Fluminense, Botafogo, and Vasco da Gama call this place home.

Dallas Cowboys Starting Deposits for Fans Wanting to Travel

As a Dallas Cowboys season ticket holder, I received an email about international travel for the game. A company called ‘On Location’ will take care of everything. I have never heard of them and decided to look them up. Apparently just the deposit is $500. I am curious what the full travel arrangements and game tickets will be going for.

Only Second Dallas Cowboys International Game in the Regular Season

Back in the day, the Dallas Cowboys played a bunch of international games in the preseason. Games in Tokyo, Mexico City, and London. During the regular season they have only played one time in 2014 against the Jaguars over in London.It has been so long, Tony Romo was still the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys have a record of 2-7-1 outside of America, but the majority of those games were in the preseason. We will wait and see who the Cowboys play and when. So far, all the Brazil games have taken place week 1 of the NFL season. We will see if history repeats itself. This venue in Brazil will host another two games in the next five years.
