Green Bay Packers Could Face Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil for 2024 NFL Season Opener
Exciting news has emerged for the Green Bay Packers, potentially opening their 2024 season in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles. The chances look promising for this international matchup, adding a unique flair to the upcoming season.
Various teams have been designated for international games this year, with the Eagles set to play in Sao Paulo. The NFL continues to expand its global presence, with teams like the Vikings, Bears, Jaguars, and Panthers also participating in international games.
The NFL is gearing up to kick off the season in Sao Paulo on Sept. 6 at Arena Corinthians, showcasing the Eagles as the designated team for this special event. With nine home games for the Eagles this year, the pool of potential opponents has narrowed down to a select few, including the Packers.
If the NFL aims to make a strong impact in South America, the Packers or Browns would serve as ideal opponents based on their performance in the previous season and their loyal fan base.
Teams now have the flexibility to block certain opponents from international games, making room for exciting matchups on neutral ground. Whether it's the Packers facing off against the Eagles or another team like Chicago, Minnesota, or Jacksonville, the anticipation continues to grow.
According to Pro Football Talk's Peter King, the matchup between the Eagles and Browns in Brazil seems likely. The journey to Sao Paulo presents a longer travel time compared to London, offering a new experience for the Packers players and fans.
With the vibrant backdrop of Sao Paulo, the Packers have the opportunity to showcase their talent on an international stage, following their previous game in London in 2022. This international exposure adds a new dimension to the Packers' legacy in the NFL.
