Ravens-Cowboys Set for First NFL Game at Maracanã, With Free UK and Ireland Streams

TechRadar reported that viewers in the UK can watch the game free on Channel 5 and stream it through the 5 platform, while viewers in Ireland can watch free on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Play. For people traveling outside those markets, the guide suggests using a VPN to make a device appear as if it is back home and unlock the same streaming services. It names IPVanish as one option, saying it is discounted by up to 83% and costs from $2.49 per month, and that it can unblock 5 and Virgin Media Play.

In the United States, the game is being shown on CBS and Paramount+, according to the guide. Paramount+ starts at $8.99 per month or $89.99 per year and also carries Champions League soccer, while a Walmart Plus 30-day trial for $1 can provide virtual access to Paramount+. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream and the Fubo Sports + News plan also carry CBS and offer broad NFL coverage this season, TechRadar said. The guide adds that viewers outside the U.S. can use IPVanish to unblock their stream.

For Australian viewers, TechRadar said the game is on ESPN via Foxtel and can be streamed through Kayo Sports. Kayo subscriptions start at AU$30 per month after a seven-day free trial, and the first month can be obtained for AU$1. NFL Game Pass on DAZN is also showing the game and every remaining fixture, including the Super Bowl, with season pricing starting at AU$339.99 if paid upfront, AU$34.99 per month on a 12-month commitment, and AU$33.99 per week on a rolling basis. In Canada, DAZN is showing the game and every 2026 NFL fixture starting at CA$24.99 per month, and CTV is also carrying it, according to the guide.

The matchup presents a difficult test for Dallas, according to TechRadar. The Cowboys have given up the third-most rushing yards per game in the 2026 NFL season so far, while the Ravens have produced the fifth-most rushing yards per game. Baltimore should rank even higher, the guide said, after new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle pulled Derrick Henry for the second half against the Saints last Sunday with the team leading 7-6 at halftime, a decision that had a disastrous effect. Henry still finished as the game's top rusher, and TechRadar said he will be keen to make up for lost time in Brazil.

Dallas beat the Commanders to get its first win, with Dak Prescott throwing for 279 yards and four touchdowns, two of them to CeeDee Lamb. The guide noted that it is difficult to judge the Cowboys' form because Washington lost Jayden Daniels before halftime and the Giants beat Dallas in the opening week. The Ravens and Cowboys have met seven times previously; Baltimore won six and Dallas won one. Most broadcasters, including 5 and Virgin Media, offer mobile apps or browser-based streaming, and NFL news and plays are available on the league's official X/Twitter account, @NFL, and Instagram.
