Get ready for a historic moment in NFL history! For the first time ever, the league will be hosting a regular season game in South America. The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles will square off in a Week 1 matchup on Friday night, September 6th, at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This game also marks the first time in 50 years that an NFL regular season game will be played on a Friday night in Week 1, taking fans back to the last time this happened on September 18, 1970, when the Cardinals faced the Rams.
To witness this historic event, you’ll need to tune into Peacock, the exclusive streaming platform for this game. Peacock offers two subscription options: Premium (ad-supported) for $8 per month, and Premium Plus (ad-free) for $14 per month. Peacock subscribers can also access a variety of other content, including college football, the PGA Tour, and WWE.
Both the Packers and Eagles enter the 2024 season with playoff aspirations. The Packers are excited to see quarterback Jordan Love in his second year as a starter. After a slow start in 2023, Love finished the season strong, throwing for 18 touchdowns and only one interception from Weeks 11-18. He also led the Packers to a Wild Card victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2023 season. After a 10-1 start, the team faltered down the stretch and lost in the Wild Card round to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This Friday night matchup will be a crucial test for both teams, as they aim to establish their early season momentum.
According to FanDuel, the Eagles are favored by 2.5 points. The Packers, however, boast a strong track record on opening weekend, with the most opening weekend wins in NFL history at 59. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, on the other hand, has a perfect 3-0 record in Week 1 games.
Don’t miss this exciting clash of titans! Tune in on Friday night and find out which team will emerge victorious in this historic first-ever NFL game in South America.
