The NFL announced via their communications website that the Philadelphia Eagles will be hosting the first ever game in Brazil during the opening weekend of the 2024 NFL season. Notably, the Pittsburgh Steelers are one of nine possible teams that could be making the trip to play the Eagles in South America, as the Steelers have a scheduled away game this season against the Eagles.
The game will be played on Friday, Sept. 6 during Week One, so there will be a game on both Thursday night and Friday night this year. This will be the first friday night game in Week One in over 50 years.
