The kickoff to the NFL's 2024 season is going to be great!
To kick off the new NFL season later this year, here's what you'll do. 4 consecutive games in 5 daysthe official kickoff to the season is the Friday Night Lights contest. Brazil, South American countryNFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday night during his annual pre-Super Bowl address in Las Vegas.
The opponent for the game against Brazil, the Philadelphia Eagles, will be announced in the future, and the game is scheduled for September 6th. The match will be held in Sao Paulo at the Corinthians Arena, which has a capacity of 49,205 people. São Paulo, with a population of over 12 million people, is a 12-hour flight from Philadelphia.

As for the Friday Night Lights feature, I think it's just OK. So Well, for the first time since 1970, the NFL's opening weekend game will be played on a Friday night. After that, the Los Angeles Rams played against the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Rams won.
The kickoff time for the match will be announced at a later date. Brazil time is 2 hours ahead of US Eastern time.

Back in December, I wrote on this blog about how great it was to be able to watch a game in Brazil, and the fact that it would be a Friday night game made it even more appealing.
Friday Night Lights?? In the NFL?!
I'm very interested in this.
