Packers and Eagles will clash in São Paulo in NFL's exciting debut in Brazil

The NFL is taking its first steps into Brazil, and they're bringing a cheesy surprise with them. The Green Bay Packers are set to go head-to-head with the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo, marking the league's debut game in Brazil. The matchup is scheduled for Friday night of Week 1 at Corinthians Arena, home to Brazilian soccer team SC Corinthians. Fans can catch the action exclusively on Peacock and also on free, over-the-air broadcast television in local markets, as well as on NFL+.

This game is definitely one to watch, especially after the Green Bay Packers made an unexpected run to the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs in 2023. With a young and promising team, all eyes will be on quarterback Jordan Love and the rest of the Packers as they aim to build on their previous season's success.

On the other side, the Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a season with a lot to prove after a disappointing end to their 2023 campaign. The team is no stranger to international games, having last played a regular-season game outside the United States in 2018 when they emerged victorious against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

The significance of this game is not lost on either team. As the Eagles prepare to kick off their 2024 season in Brazil, head coach Nick Sirianni and his squad are eager to put their past struggles behind them. According to Sirianni, "We're ready to turn the page and show what we're capable of this season. Playing in Brazil adds an extra layer of excitement and motivation for us."

NFL's exciting venture into South America

Meanwhile, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is looking forward to the challenge of facing the Eagles in an international setting. "It's a great opportunity for our team to showcase our talent on a global stage," said LaFleur. "We've been working hard in the offseason, and this game will be a true test of our progress."

Both teams are no strangers to international play, with the Packers having previously played in an international series game in 2022, and the Eagles in 2018. This upcoming game in Brazil adds an exciting new chapter to their history of international competition.

As the NFL makes its mark in Brazil, it's clear that this game is more than just a regular-season matchup-it's an opportunity for both teams to set the tone for the season ahead and make a statement on an international stage.
