Packers named Eagles' opponent for NFL's first game in Brazil

The Green Bay Packers won't be opening the 2024 NFL season at home in Titletown. They won't even be doing it in the United States.

The NFL has announced that the Packers will travel to São Paulo to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 in the NFL's first-ever game in Brazil. The Eagles had already been named as one of the teams, but the Packers had reportedly been in contention with the Cleveland Browns for the other spot.

The game will take place on Friday, Sept. 6, making it the first opening week NFL game to be broadcast on a Friday night in over 50 years.
