Cowboys' 2026 Schedule: Neutral-Site Ravens Game

It's April 1st. This is Dallas News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.

The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for a rebound in 2026 with the 13th easiest strength of schedule in the NFL.

They'll face second place teams from the NFC North and AFC North, like the Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens.

Plus all NFC East rivals twice, the full NFC West and AFC South divisions.

Word just leaked that one big match-up sends them to Brazil for the NFL International Series in Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium.

It's the Cowboys versus the Ravens in Week 3, with Dallas listed as the home team on neutral ground.

Past Brazil games drew over 47,000 fans each on Friday nights.

Fans are buzzing about the travel and prep time, giving the team an extra week before wrapping up the first month.

Expect plenty of prime time spots later, as the league loves spotlighting Dallas, which means some tight turnaround weeks ahead.

Home opponents include the Cardinals, 49ers, Jaguars, Titans, Ravens, Buccaneers, and NFC East foes.

On the road, is the Texans, Colts, Rams, Seahawks, Packers, and those same division rivals.

That shakes out to eight true home games, eight away, and the one neutral side clash.

Full schedule drops mid-May after the draft, so fingers cross the slate, fuels a playoff push, and ends that two-year postseason drought.
