Notably the NFL will play in Australia and Paris in 2026, and they will also break ground in Rio de Janeiro specifically. It appears the Cowboys will be the ones doing so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">To be clear, the NFL has played games in Brazil before, but they took place in S\u00e3o Paulo. Getting a game in Rio de Janeiro specifically is a different thing and the Cowboys are one of the league\u2019s biggest draws so it would seem that the NFL cares deeply about this. For what it\u2019s worth, those games were the season opener given the travel involved so it stands to reason that Dallas will be in Rio de Janeiro in Week 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Earlier this week there was chatter about the Cowboys playing a game in Mexico, but several insiders noted that an international game definitely seemed to be inevitable, but that Mexico did not exactly feel likely. This report appears to answer all of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly going to play in Rio de Janeiro in 2026.
