The Packers were named the Eagles' season-opening opponent on Wednesday, with the Sept. 6 game in São Paulo marking the NFL's first regular-season game in South America.
The Eagles had been announced as the hosting team for the Brazil game in February, and the decision for their opponent came down to the Cleveland Browns and Packers. It will be the Eagles’ second time playing a regular-season game abroad, with the first coming in 2018 when they traveled to London to play the Jacksonville Jaguars and won, 24-18.
During the annual league meetings last month, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said the NFL’s uptick in international games will be important for the league’s long-term growth. The Eagles have begun marketing campaigns in New Zealand, Australia, and Ghana, where they became the first team with such an arrangement in Africa.
