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.

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.
