The Eagles have been chosen to play in the NFL’s first-ever game in Brazil in Week 1 on Friday, September 6 to kick off their 2024 regular season. This will be the second International Series Game in the regular season for the Eagles, who played in London during the 2018 campaign and defeated Jacksonville, 24-18 at Wembley Stadium. The Eagles played preseason games in Mexico City in 1978, London in 1989 and ’91, and in Tokyo in 1993.
As part of the NFL International Series, this will be the first Friday night game on opening weekend in more than 50 years. The opponent and kickoff time will be announced at a later date closer to when the 2024 NFL schedule is revealed this spring. The contest will be played at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil with a seating capacity of 47,252.
Home to the Brazilian soccer team SC Corinthians, the stadium was an official venue for both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games.
