The NFL announced it will return to play a regular season game in Brazil in 2025.
As part of the 2025 International Games, the Los Angeles Chargers will play as the designated team in São Paulo at Corinthians Arena, home to Brazilian soccer team SC Corinthians, on Friday night of Week 1 of the 2025 regular season.
The stadium was an official venue for both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympic Games, as well as the NFL’s historic first regular season game in South America in 2024, featuring the Eagles and Packers.
Brazil is an important global market for the NFL, home to more than 36 million fans — the second largest international fan base after Mexico.
The Chargers’ opponent and the kickoff time will be announced when the full 2025 NFL schedule is revealed this spring.
Beyond the NFL’s second game, the League is committed to growing the game at every level in Brazil, engaging with fans year-round through partners, programs and initiatives.
NFL Flag — the NFL’s official program for non-contact football — was launched in Brazil in 2023. The program has impacted 4,550 young athletes in schools and local youth leagues, showcasing the League’s efforts to increase participation and inspire the next generation ahead of flag football’s debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Beginning in 2025, the NFL can schedule up to eight League-operated regular season games internationally.
