Brazil Game and Season Opener: Eagles vs. Packers
The Eagles are beginning their season in Brazil!
The Eagles are hoping to turn the page to a new season, leaving the collapse from last season in the dust, and start things off on the right foot. They will do so in Brazil, where an NFL game will be hosted for the first time in South America. They play the Green Bay Packers, who are hoping to build upon the successes of last year under their new franchise quarterback Jordan Love.
Kickoff is set for 8:15 PM ET. Live game footage airs on Peacock nationally, NBC 10 in Philadelphia, and NBC 26 in Green Bay. The Eagles will be wearing white jerseys with black pants and black helmets. The Packers will be wearing their standard green and gold uniforms.
