The Green Bay Packers will travel to Brazil to take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, Sept. 6, at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo.

• It is the sixth straight year and the 10th time in the last 12 seasons that Green Bay has started the season as the road team. Green Bay is the only team in the NFL to open the season as the road team each of the last six years (2019-24). It is the first time over that span that it will be against a team outside the NFC North.
• It is the first time in history that the NFL will play a regular-season game in South America and the first time the league has played a game on Friday night of its opening weekend in over 50 years, when the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams met on September 18, 1970.
• Throughout the weekend, fans can visit NFL Experience – a free, three-day football fan festival at Parque Villa Lobos in São Paulo, kicking off with a watch party of the Packers-Eagles game on Friday night. Six NFL Shop presented by Visa retail locations will house exclusive game merchandise across São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and local Brazilian artists will create NFL-themed murals across the host city.
• On gameday, the NFL will highlight Brazil's vibrant culture and music scene with Brazilian superstar Anitta headlining the São Paulo game halftime show and local sensations Luísa Sonza, Zeeba and CAROLA performing for fans pregame. Local fans in São Paulo can close out the weekend with NFL RUN - a 5km race with a 2km recreational walk - on Sunday morning, followed by watch parties of Sunday afternoon NFL games at NFL Experience.

MATT LaFLEUR…In his sixth season as the Packers' 15th head coach.

• Is in his 16th season in the NFL, having previously served as an offensive coordinator for two seasons (Los Angeles Rams, 2017; Tennessee Titans, 2018), a quarterbacks coach for six seasons (Washington Redskins, 2010-13; Atlanta Falcons, 2015-16), and an offensive assistant for two seasons (Houston Texans, 2008-09).
• In his first five seasons leading the Packers, has authored one of the greatest starts to a head-coaching career in NFL history. Per the Elias Sports Bureau, his 56 wins are tied for the second most in league history by a head coach in his first five seasons in the NFL, trailing only George Seifert (62 in 1989-93). Green Bay's 56-27 regular-season record since 2019 is tied for No. 3 in the NFL and ranks No. 1 in the NFC.
• Became the first coach in NFL history to post 13-plus wins in three straight seasons and his 39 wins from 2019-21 passed Seifert (38) for the most wins by an NFL head coach in his first three seasons in the league (Elias). His 39 wins are also tied for the second most by a coach over any three-season span in league history, trailing only Andy Reid's 40 wins with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2020-22 and Mike Ditka's 40 wins with the Chicago Bears from 1985-87 (Elias).
• Guided the Packers to a 32-9 record (.780) in the regular season from 2019-23 at Lambeau Field, the top home mark in the NFL since 2019. His .733 win percentage (22-8 record) against NFC North opponents in his first five seasons also ranks as the best in the history of the NFC North/Central (min. 10 games).
• In his first season leading the Packers in 2019, became the first coach in club history to lead the team to the playoffs in his debut season. Also led the largest one-year win improvement in team history (plus-seven wins).

NICK SIRIANNI…In his fourth season as the Eagles' 24th head coach.

• Enters his 16th season as an NFL coach, having previously spent time as the offensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts (2018-20), as a wide receivers (2016-17), quarterbacks (2014-15) and offensive quality control coach with the Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers and as a wide receivers (2012) and offensive quality control coach (2009-11) with the Kansas City Chiefs.
• Is the franchise's only head coach to make the playoffs in each of his first three seasons, which included a trip to Super Bowl LVII during the 2022 season, and has guided Philadelphia to the fifth-best regular-season winning percentage (.667) in the league since becoming the team's head coach (2021-23).
• Under his tutelage, 12 Eagles players have earned a combined 21 Pro Bowl selections and seven players have collected 12 All-Pro honors.
