🇧🇷 Ravens Football Comes to Rio

The Ravens will help make history when they face the Cowboys in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Rio de Janeiro.

The matchup will take place inside the legendary Maracanã Stadium, giving fans a chance to combine NFL football with one of South America’s most memorable destinations. Extend the weekend with time at Copacabana or Ipanema, ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, visit Christ the Redeemer, or explore Rio’s food, music, and culture.

American Airlines is making this trip especially convenient for fans by offering a special nonstop flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Rio on September 25, followed by a return flight on September 28. Since American serves Dallas/Fort Worth nonstop from HIA, the schedule creates a potential one-connection itinerary built around the Ravens game.

🇬🇧 Two Sundays of Football in London

London will welcome two regional teams on consecutive Sundays.

The Commanders meet the Colts on October 4, followed by the Eagles and Jaguars on October 11. Fans can choose the game that matters most or turn the two matchups into one ambitious football-focused London vacation.

Both games will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Outside the stadium, travelers can fill their itinerary with historic landmarks, royal attractions, world-class museums, West End performances, and neighborhoods offering food from around the globe.

🇫🇷 The Steelers Make History in Paris

On October 25, the Steelers will face the Saints in the first NFL regular-season game ever played in France.

The game will take place at the Stade de France, just outside central Paris. Before or after kickoff, fans can visit the Eiffel Tower, explore the city’s museums and historic neighborhoods, enjoy a cruise along the Seine, or simply settle into a café and experience Paris at a slower pace.
