Green Bay Packers Announced As The Eagles Opponent In Brazil
About a month ago, the NFL announced the Eagles would be playing in Brazil for the week 1 game. But at the time we did not know who they would play. Even a couple of weeks ago when they announced that the game would broadcast on Peacock, they did not announce who they would play. But now we finally know. This morning, the NFL announced that the Eagles will face off against the Green Bay Packers in that Brazil game.
An Important Game Against The Green Bay Packers
What is interesting about that game, is how important it is. The Packers will be one of the main teams the Eagles are battling with overseeding. They made some noise last year in the playoffs by blowing out the Cowboys, and nearly taking out the 49ers.
Now, they are among the favorites to contend for the NFC Crown. And the Eagles will lose their home game against them, to instead play them on a neutral site after a long flight. Not exactly the opponent you were hoping for.
The Browns were the hope. It’s an out-of-conference game, but still a good enough opponent to make the game interesting. Drawing the Packers instead, and no longer getting a true home game against them, is a bit of a disadvantage for the Eagles.
How To Watch
That game will be broadcast on NBC’s Streaming service Peacock. If you don’t have that streaming service, don’t worry. Local fans will be able to watch it on NBC 10.
If you are outside the Philly Media market but are an Eagles fan, you are going to need to get Peacock in order to watch it. They no longer offer free trials, and they charge $5.99 per month. You could always order 1 month, and then just cancel it after you watch the game. You won’t get a refund, but you won’t be charged for subsequent months.
The rest of the schedule is expected to come out sometime in May. But we at least now know 1 game. The Eagles will take on the Green Bay Packers in week 1, in Corinthians Arena, Sao Paulo, Brazil. It will be played on September 6th, which is the Friday following the Thursday Night Opening game between the Chiefs and a to-be-determined team.
