The Eagles and Packers Week 1 matchup is the first Friday game on opening weekend since 1970.
However, that isn’t the only thing that’s unique about the meeting of NFC foes.
For the first time in the history of the league, an NFL game will take place in South America as Philadelphia and Green Bay face off in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Both teams made postseason runs in January and both teams have lofty expectations for their 2024 campaigns. The Eagles look to reclaim the NFC East title behind fifth-year quarterback Jalen Hurts while the Packers rally around Jordan Love at the helm to improve on a Divisional Round exit.

Eagles vs. Packers results, highlights from Friday night football
(All times Eastern)
Pregame
8:12 p.m. — Olympic gymnast Rebecca Andrade is present on the field during the Brazilian national anthem.
8:10 p.m. — Teams have made their entrances and pregame festivities are taking place, including anthems. Both the American and Brazilian flags are being displayed on the field.
8 p.m. — We are 15 minutes from kickoff now and the arena is bumping with fans. Running back Josh Jacobs makes his debut for the Packers tonight and is eyeing a bizarre record. Through six years in the NFL, all spent with the Raiders, he has 197 receptions and no receiving touchdowns. He only needs five catches to become the all-time leader in career catches without a single score in the air.
7:55 p.m. — The last time these two teams met was late November 2022, when Philadelphia beat Green Bay 40-33. That game, Hurts took on now-New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers in one of his final games as a Packer. He bested the veteran and improved the Eagles’ record to 10-1 in a season where the team eventually competed in a Super Bowl.
7:45 p.m. — Saquon Barkley has emerged in his Eagles threads. He’ll play his first game for the team tonight after spending six seasons with the New York Giants. Last year, Barkley amassed 962 yards on 247 carries for six touchdowns on the ground along with four scores in the air.

7:30 p.m. — The temperature in Sao Paulo tonight is a mild 63 degrees Farenheit with 84 percent humidity as both teams warm up on the field. With 45 minutes to go until kickoff, the Eagles are favored to beat the Packers by 2.5 points.
6:55 p.m. — The Eagles and Packers have both announced their lists of inactive players for tonight. Running back Emanuel Wilson and tight end Tucker Kraft, both of whom were questionable this week, will suit up for Green Bay. There aren’t a ton of surprises on Philadelphia’s side, but some are questioning the decision to keep 3rd round pick Jalyx Hunt on the sidelines for Week 1.
