Eagles to Face Packers in Historic NFL Season Opener in Brazil

The game marks the first NFL contest in South America, featuring a Friday night matchup between Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love.

The Philadelphia Eagles will play the Green Bay Packers on September 6 at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil, inaugurating the NFL's first game in South America.
This season opener will spotlight new Eagles coordinators and a rare Friday night game, avoiding conflicts with high school and college football due to the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961.
The matchup features young quarterbacks Jalen Hurts of the Eagles and Jordan Love of the Packers, both heralded for exceeding expectations early in their careers.
NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell emphasized the game as a significant step in the league's international expansion efforts.
The event is expected to draw global attention, with both teams being favorites to challenge the reigning NFC champion San Francisco 49ers.
