Head-to-Head History
The Baltimore Ravens lead the all-time series 6-1, with all seven meetings played in the regular season. Across those seven games, the Ravens have outscored the Cowboys 200 to 132.
Short bios:
Baltimore Ravens — Founded in 1996, the Ravens have built their identity on physical, defense-first football, anchored by two Super Bowl titles (2000, 2012). With MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson now leading the offense, Baltimore has become one of the AFC's most dynamic teams, blending its trademark defense with an explosive rushing attack.
Dallas Cowboys — Known as "America's Team," the Cowboys are one of the NFL's most valuable and widely followed franchises, with five Super Bowl championships to their name. Led by quarterback Dak Prescott and owner Jerry Jones, Dallas remains a perennial national TV draw regardless of where they stand in the standings.
Recent Storylines
Lamar Jackson, who won the 2023 NFL MVP with the Ravens, will face off against the runner-up that year, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, when the two teams meet again in 2026. The matchup is set for Sunday, September 27, 2026, at Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã Stadium — the NFL's first-ever regular-season game in that city — with the Cowboys serving as the designated home team. It's part of an NFL-record slate of nine international games being played across seven countries in 2026.
This will be Dallas's first international game since 2014, while it marks Baltimore's third international game overall and first outside London, following a 2017 loss to Jacksonville and a 2023 win over Tennessee, both in London. Baltimore enters the series having won five of the last six meetings, including back-to-back victories in 2020 and 2024, with the Ravens' only loss in the last decade coming in 2016 on the road in Dallas.
Why Fans Should Grab Tickets
- A genuinely rare matchup — Ravens vs. Cowboys happens roughly once every four years under the NFL's scheduling rotation, so this isn't a game you catch every season.
- Historic first — The 2026 meeting is the NFL's inaugural regular-season game in Rio de Janeiro, a true bucket-list event for football fans.
- Star power at quarterback — Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott have combined for multiple MVP finishes, guaranteeing high-level offensive football.
- A one-sided series worth watching evolve — With Baltimore holding a commanding 6-1 edge, Dallas has extra motivation to close the gap.
- Two of the league's most-followed brands — Both franchises rank among the NFL's highest in national viewership and merchandise sales, so demand for tickets typically outpaces supply.
