The NFL is expanding its reach into new territories, and the city of São Paulo in Brazil is set to host its first-ever NFL game. The Green Bay Packers will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles at the Corinthians Arena, marking a historic moment for football fans in Brazil. This primetime matchup will kick off on Friday night of Week 1 and can be watched exclusively on Peacock, free over-the-air broadcast television in local markets, and NFL+.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding this game, especially after the Green Bay Packers surprised everyone by making it to the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs in 2023. With a young and talented team led by quarterback Jordan Love, the Packers will look to build on their success from last season and make a statement in Brazil.
On the other hand, the Philadelphia Eagles are coming into the new season with a chip on their shoulder after a disappointing end to their 2023 campaign. The team is eager to prove themselves on an international stage once again, following their last regular-season game outside the United States in 2018, where they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
Both head coaches, Nick Sirianni of the Eagles and Matt LaFleur of the Packers, understand the significance of this international matchup. Sirianni is determined to put the past behind them and start fresh in Brazil, while LaFleur sees this game as an opportunity to showcase their talent on a global platform.
This game not only marks the NFL’s exciting venture into South America but also adds a new chapter to the history of international competition for both teams. As they prepare to kick off the 2024 season in Brazil, the Packers and Eagles are ready to set the tone for the season ahead and make a statement to fans worldwide.
