Philly Leader

The Philadelphia Eagles will begin their 2024 season in São Paulo, Brazil, facing the Green Bay Packers. This marks the first NFL game ever held in South America and is set for Friday, September 6. The matchup between these two historic teams follows their postseason appearances last year.

The Packers finished second in the NFC North with a 9-8 record in 2023, advancing past the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card Round with Jordan Love as their quarterback. The Eagles previously defeated the Packers 40-33 during their last encounter in 2022 at Lincoln Financial Field.

The upcoming game will be streamed exclusively on Peacock, though the kickoff time remains undetermined. Jeffrey Lurie, Chairman and CEO of the Philadelphia Eagles, expressed his excitement about participating in this international event: "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."

Corinthians Arena, with a seating capacity of 47,252, will host this significant event. It has previously served as an official venue for both the FIFA World Cup and Olympic Games. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell highlighted this milestone: "This landmark first international game in South America demonstrates the ongoing expansion of our global footprint."

This will be Philadelphia's second International Series Game during a regular season; they played against Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium in London back in 2018. On Location is offering exclusive packages for fans attending this historic game, including premium seating and cultural experiences.
