Following the NFL’s full schedule release on Wednesday night, the Green Bay Packers now know the dates for each of their 17 regular-season games this year. Prior to the schedule release, leaks revealed the Packers will open the 2024 season with the first-ever regular-season game in South America. They’ll play the Philadelphia Eagles in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Along with the game in Brazil that will be considered a road game, the Packers will take on their divisional opponents – the Bears, Lions and Vikings – on the road, as well as the Rams, Seahawks, Jaguars and Titans this season.
As for home opponents, they’ll face the Bears, Lions, Vikings, Cardinals, 49ers, Texans, Colts, Saints and Dolphins. The Packers are playing in one of three Thanksgiving Day matchups this season, drawing a faceoff against Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
Behind starting quarterback Jordan Love, Green Bay went 9-8 last season to finish second in the NFC North. The Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys in a road playoff game before making their exit against the 49ers in Round 2.
The Green Bay Packers will play the 2024 season opener against the Eagles in Brazil. Green Bay has expected to face Philadelphia for weeks following the league’s announcement about the big international game in the opening weekend.
It is just the team’s second international regular-season appearance, following the Packers game in 2022 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The game will also mark the first time the Packers have opened the season against the Eagles since 2010.
“We’re looking forward to being a part of this historic matchup against the Eagles in São Paulo,” said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. “We’re excited to play in front of our devoted fans in Brazil and help build upon the international popularity of the NFL and the Packers. We had a great experience playing internationally for the first time a couple of years ago and we’re proud to be part of the league’s continued global growth.”
The game will take place in São Paulo at the Corinthians Arena on Sept. 6. It will be the first time the NFL has played a game on Friday night in its opening weekend in more than 50 years.
