The Eagles are playing in Brazil. Here’s everything we know.

“Fly, Eagles, fly!” Or as they would say in Brazil, “Voe, Águias, voe!”

The Eagles will kick off their 2024 regular season schedule at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil, the first NFL game ever played in South America. It’s the earliest in the season the NFL has scheduled a regular-season international game, part of commissioner Roger Goodell’s bullish commitment to growing the league outside the United States.

“We are convinced we can be a global sport,” Goodell told reporters Monday.

The Sept. 6 game is the first time the NFL has scheduled a Friday night game during opening weekend in more than 50 years, when the then-St. Louis Cardinals faced the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 18, 1970. That season, the NFL also scheduled a Saturday night game during opening weekend that featured the Chicago Bears playing the New York Giants at Yankee Stadium, something the NFL isn’t repeating that this season.

As part of its antitrust agreement, the NFL is barred from scheduling Friday and Saturday games after 6 p.m. from the second Friday in September through the second Saturday in December so high school and college teams have a window to play. But with Labor Day falling on Sept. 2, the second Friday is pushed back to Sept. 13 this season, which offered an opening for the league.

The game will stream on Peacock, NBC’s subscription service, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Eastern. In the Philadelphia and Green Bay television markets, the game will air on broadcast TV.

There will still be the traditional NFL Kickoff game on Thursday, Sept. 5, featuring the winner of Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.

Here’s what we know about the Eagles playing in Brazil:

The Eagles game in Brazil is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 6, with kickoff at 8:15 p.m. Eastern (7:15 p.m. local time).

São Paulo is currently two hours ahead of Philadelphia and the rest of the East Coast. But on Sept. 6, the time difference will be just one hour, thanks to Brazil getting rid of daylight saving time in 2019.

“With the global growth of our sport being a top priority to our league, we embrace the opportunity to grow our fanbase around the world and bring Eagles football to the 38 million sports fans in Brazil,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. “As one of the world’s most culturally diverse nations, Brazil is an international melting pot, and we look forward to experiencing its warm, vibrant and welcoming environment later this year.”

The Eagles will face the Green Bay Packers in Brazil, the league announced in April.

It will be the second international regular season game for the Packers, who played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in 2022.

“We’re looking forward to being a part of this historic matchup against the Eagles in São Paulo,” Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy said in a statement. “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 Eagles were scheduled to have nine home games this season, so they will host eight games at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles game will take place in São Paulo’s Corinthians Arena, home to Brazilian soccer team SC Corinthians. The stadium opened in 2014, and was an official venue for both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games.

Corinthians Arena’s capacity is 47,252 and is known locally as Neo Química Arena due to a sponsorship deal with the drug manufacturing company.

The team is offering a travel package through the NFL that begins at $1,605 before fees, which includes a ticket to the game and access to the team’s pregame party. Though anything out of the nosebleed section of Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo will cost you more than $2,200 a ticket.

Travel packages that include airfare and multiple hotel nights are also available, though they’re as expensive as you’d imagine. And while the Corinthians’ hatred of the color green is well known, fans won’t be banned from wearing their favorite green Birds gear in the stadium.

Including the Eagles’ Brazil game, five regular season games will be played internationally. The designated teams and locations are:

Beginning in 2025, the NFL will have eight international games on the schedule, along with a mandate that each team plays in an international game at least once every four years.

It will be the second time the Eagles have played in a regular-season international game. They traveled to London to play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8 of the 2018 season.

The lyrics of the Eagles’ fight song are seared into the brains of anyone living in the Delaware Valley, but if you want to get ready to root for the Birds in Brazil, here’s how the song would be sung in Portuguese, as translated by a native Brazilian now living in the United States.

It works out that the Portuguese word for Eagles, Águias, has the same number of letters, so you have seven months to practice belting out “A-G-U-I-A-S Águias!”
