The first two games of the season have now been announced. The NFL previously said the Green Bay Packers will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 6 in São Paulo. That will be the first NFL game played in Brazil as the league continues to attempt to expand its global appeal. It will occur on a Friday and will air on Peacock.
The NFL’s full schedule for the 2024 season is set to be announced Wednesday. The league said through a spokesman that each of “the NFL’s network partners will announce a key 2024 season game over the next few days prior to the full schedule release.
The matchups already are known, based on the NFL’s scheduling formula. But the dates of those matchups are not known until the schedule is released.
