The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys remain scheduled to play at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro next Sunday, eight days from now, even as the condition of the field has drawn concern. The game is still expected to be held inside the stadium.

Agustín Rossi, Flamengo's goalkeeper, recently criticized the surface, saying it has bumps across it. Rossi also said he hoped the field would be improved before the football game. Dallas is designated as the home team, and Baltimore is designated as the road team. Those designations and the matchup have not changed, although it remains unclear whether the field will be better by kickoff.

The Cowboys are scheduled to face Washington on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET before heading to Brazil. Baltimore is scheduled to play New Orleans at 1 p.m. ET. Sports.yahoo.com reported the information on Sept. 19, 2026.
