🏈 Maracanã Stadium · Sept 27, 2026
Matchup: Ravens vs Cowboys
Date: Sunday, Sept 27, 2026
Venue: Maracanã Stadium, Rio
History is being made. On September 27, 2026, the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys will clash at the legendary Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro — the first NFL regular-season game ever played in Rio. For American fans making the trip south, this isn't just a football game. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience one of the world's most vibrant cities while watching two of the NFL's most iconic franchises battle it out under Brazilian skies.
But international travel, especially to a city like Rio, can get expensive fast. Between flights, hotels, currency exchange, and the temptation to indulge in everything the Cidade Maravilhosa has to offer, costs add up quickly. That's exactly where Oasis Brazil comes in.

Planning Your Rio NFL Trip Around Game Day
The Ravens-Cowboys game kicks off at 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, September 27. That means game day in Rio starts in the early evening — giving you the entire morning and afternoon to explore the city before heading to Maracanã.
With an Oasis Brazil, your pre-game day might look like this: a morning massage, a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant, and then an afternoon caipirinha at a rooftop bar before heading north to the stadium. After the final whistle, recover the right way — with a post-game samba music and dance venue.
September is early spring in Rio, meaning the weather is likely to be warm and dry — ideal for exploring the city's iconic neighborhoods, beaches, and viewpoints. It's genuinely one of the best times of year to visit.
Why Rio? Why Now?
The NFL's decision to play at Maracanã, the legendary stadium that hosted the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final, signals a massive long-term investment in Brazil as an international football market.
This is Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season, and the Cowboys vs Ravens matchup features two of the sport's biggest stars: Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott. The atmosphere in Rio on September 27 will be unlike anything in North American sports.
For American fans, this is a rare chance to combine a bucket-list travel experience with wellness tourism and a historic NFL game. And with Oasis Brazil in your corner, you won't have to overpay to do it right.
