It seems that the NFL has finalized its plans for the 2024 season opener in Brazil, with indications strongly suggesting that the Green Bay Packers will be kicking off their season abroad.
While it’s already been confirmed that the Philadelphia Eagles will be participating in the Brazil game, all indications point towards them facing off against the Packers.
According to NFL and ESPN insider Rob Demovsky, there’s a strong consensus building that the Green Bay Packers are set to travel to Brazil to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in their Week 1 matchup. This exciting prospect promises an incredible season opener for fans in South America!
Demovsky reported that Packers president Mark Murphy’s remarks this morning strongly indicate their readiness to open the season against the Eagles in Brazil. Murphy, speaking ahead of the annual Tailgate Tour departure, stated, “We’re either the first- or second-most popular team in Brazil.” This suggests the Packers are gearing up for the matchup in Brazil.
The Packers’ front office anticipates the official announcement to be imminent, as they believe the NFL will make it “any day now,” according to Murphy.
“Furthermore, this holds significant importance for the league. If selected, we’re more than willing to participate.”
