The National Football League announced on Wednesday 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, marking the first time the NFL has played a game on Friday night of their opening weekend in over 50 years.
The game will take place in the city of São Paulo at the Corinthians Arena, home to Brazilian soccer team SC Corinthians and will be each team’s first game of the 2024 regular season.
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 the designated teams for the Europe slate already announced.
With the game in South America, the NFL will have played a game (preseason or regular season) in five of the seven continents around the world.
Additional opponents and kickoff times for all games will be announced with the 2024 schedule this spring.
