The NFL announced that the Green Bay Packers will play the Philadelphia Eagles in the first-ever regular season game in Brazil, as part of the 2024 International Games.
The Packers will face the Eagles, the 2024 São Paulo designated team, on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024. This will be the first time the NFL has played a game on Friday night of opening weekend in over 50 years.
The game will take place in the city of São Paulo at the Corinthians Arena, home to the Brazilian soccer team, SC Corinthians. It will be each team's first game of the 2024 regular season.
“As global growth continues to be a critical and strategic priority for the NFL and its 32 clubs, we are thrilled to have the Green Bay Packers playing against the Philadelphia Eagles in our first-ever game in South America," said Managing Director and Head of NFL International Gerrit Meier. “With over 35 million passionate fans in Brazil, the Friday night 2024 regular season opener in São Paulo will bring an incredible energy – marking a historic moment for our sport internationally."
"The matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles is an extremely exciting moment for the city of São Paulo," said Mayor of São Paulo Ricardo Nunes. “These two franchises will certainly play a historic game, bringing great global visibility to our city and assisting our efforts to generate jobs and economic impact."
Peacock (NBCUniversal) will exclusively stream the Week 1 game in São Paulo, Brazil on Friday. The game will also be available on free, over-the-air broadcast television in the local markets of the competing teams, as well as on mobile devices with NFL+.
Five regular season games will be played as part of the 2024 NFL International Games, including the game in São Paulo, Brazil, with designated teams for the Europe slate already announced.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the U.S., will host games featuring both the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, while the Jacksonville Jaguars will return to Wembley Stadium as part of their multi-year commitment to playing a game in the U.K.
Munich, Germany will again host a regular season game with the Carolina Panthers set to play in Allianz Arena, home of FC Bayern Munich.
