Will the Ravens need their passports in 2026?
The nine host teams of this season's international NFL games have now been announced and the Ravens have two possibilities to be a visitor abroad.
The Ravens could either face the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil or the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, Spain. Both teams are on Baltimore's 2026 schedule.
It will be the NFL's first game in Rio de Janeiro. The previous two regular-season games played in Brazil were in Sao Paulo.
The first NFL regular-season game in Spain was played last November also in Madrid, in which the Miami Dolphins beat the Washington Commanders in an overtime thriller.
Nine international games are a new high for the NFL as it continues to expand its global footprint. And with a new head coach in Jesse Minter and Lamar Jackson leading a star-studded roster, the Ravens are a popular attraction.
"We know that there is a large demand for the Ravens generally, and Lamar, and the growth internationally is something that we embrace fully," President Sashi Brown said a year ago.
The Ravens have played twice internationally, but not yet outside of London. They last played abroad in 2023, when they beat the Tennessee Titans. Previous to that, the Ravens suffered a lopsided loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2017.
CBS Sports' John Breech predicts the Cowboys will face the Ravens or Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Brazil.
