Eagles’ to host Packers in season opening game played in Brazil

The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 NFL season opener in Brazil will air on Peacock, the league announced.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 season opener in Brazil — the league’s first-ever game in South America — will air on NBC’s Peacock streaming service.

The game will take place in São Paulo at Arena Corinthians, home to the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista soccer team.

Adam Schefter is reporting that the Eagles will face off against Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers.

The stadium was a venue for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. With the game in South America, the NFL will have played a preseason or regular-season contest on five of the seven continents.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell initially announced the game at the December owners meetings in Irving, Texas.

In a previously released statement, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said the following:

“The Eagles organization is honored to have been selected to play in the first-ever National Football League game in South America. With the global growth of our sport being a top priority to our league, we embrace the opportunity to grow our fanbase around the world and bring Eagles football to the 38 million sports fans in Brazil. One of the world’s most culturally diverse nations, Brazil is an international melting pot, and we look forward to experiencing its warm, vibrant, and welcoming environment later this year.”

This will be the first Friday night game in Week 1 in over 50 years. The opponent and kickoff time will be announced closer to when the NFL schedule is revealed in May.

Packers president hints at Green Bay preparing to face Eagles in Brazil

Packers president Mark Murphy says “We’re either the first- or second-most popular team in Brazil” when asked about facing the Eagles

The NFL loves high-profile quarterback matchups, and the first-ever game in South America might come down to which signal-caller can create a shootout against Jalen Hurts on a Friday night in September.

On Tuesday, Green Bay president Mark Murphy hinted at the Packers being the team that will face the Eagles in Brazil.

Before the annual Tailgate Tour departed, Murphy said: “We’re either the first- or second-most popular team in Brazil.”

It remains to be seen which team will ultimately be selected, but the prospect of American football being played in Brazil is undoubtedly exciting.

You have the prospect of Packers rising star Jordan Love facing off against Jalen Hurts with two revamped rushing attacks featuring Josh Jacobs of Green Bay and Saquon Barkley of Philadelphia.

A Cleveland-Philadelphia matchup would see Deshaun Watson face off against Hurts, with Myles Garrett and the elite Browns defense going against Vic Fangio’s revamped unit.

The game will take place in São Paulo at Arena Corinthians, home to the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista soccer team.

2024 projected win totals for each NFC East team

We’re looking at a ranking of all four NFC East teams including the Philadelphia Eagles by 2024 win total predictions

We’re about 40 days from the 2024 NFL schedule reveal, but the world and Eagles fans already know who their opponents will be.

The league uses multiple factors to determine the year’s game schedule.

There’s a cycle of inter-conference faceoffs; each NFC division rotates through each AFC division every four seasons and the other NFC divisions every three seasons.

In addition, where a team finishes within their division dictates a same-finish matchup with one team from the opposite conference and whichever divisions aren’t in the rotation for that season.

Philadelphia previously had one of the more difficult schedules over the past two years, but 2024 will see the Eagles among the top ten easiest schedules based on win-loss percentages from last year.

Offering an early glimpse into where the Eagles could finish this season, DraftKings revealed a 2024 win total prediction for all 32 teams, and Philadelphia landed at No. 6 on the list.

Here’s where all four NFC East teams are projected to land.

Murphy revealed the news while talking to reporters Tuesday at the owners meetings in Orlando, Florida.

Broncos won’t play an international game in 2024

The Broncos won’t have an international game in 2024. Denver will host eight games and the Broncos will play nine road games stateside.

We already know the Denver Broncos’ upcoming opponents, and we’ll find out the team’s full 2024 schedule with dates and times in May.

We also know that the Broncos will not play abroad this fall.

The NFL has announced the “home” teams for the five international games in 2024 and none of them are set to host Denver next season.

The Philadelphia Eagles (Brazil), Chicago Bears (England), Minnesota Vikings (England), Jacksonville Jaguars (England) and Carolina Panthers (Germany) will “host” games outside the United States this fall.

The Broncos do have the Panthers on their list of 2024 opponents, but that game will be played at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. So the Broncos won’t have an international game during the 2024 season.

Denver last played abroad in 2022 when they defeated the Jaguars 21-17 at Wembley Stadium in London. Each NFL team is required to play at least one international game every eight years. Beginning in 2025, up to eight international games will be scheduled each season. That would involve 16 teams, giving half the league an international game each year.

So the Broncos will likely have another international game in the not-too-distant future, and Mexico is the most likely location. The NFL won’t play in Mexico in 2024 due to construction at Estadio Azteca. Once those renovations are complete, Denver will be a strong candidate to play in Mexico. This year, though, all of the team’s games will be played in the USA.
