What Time Is Dallas Cowboys-Baltimore Ravens Game In Rio? Start Time & TV Channel

We are just hours away from kickoff at the iconic Maracana Stadium, as the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens face off in the first-ever NFL game in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Leading up to the game, there was little talk about the game itself, with the conversation being whether the teams should actually play given the overwhelming concerns about field conditions. But, NFL Field Director Nick Pappas gave everything the green light, and the show must go on.

Dallas is the designated home team for Sunday evening's game, which is set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS. Rio de Janeiro is one hour ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, so the local time for kickoff is 5:25 p.m. (BRT, UTC-3).

As the premier game in Sunday's late-afternoon timeslot, the game will be broadcast in every market outside of Las Vegas and New Orleans, which will get to see the Raiders vs. Saints game called by Chris Lewis and Luke Kuechly.

The Cowboys vs. Ravens game, meanwhile, will feature legendary play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and future Pro Football Hall of Famer J.J. Watt, who replaces Cowboys legend Tony Romo in the booth, while Tracy Wolfson provides updates from the sideline.
