Jerzee’s Sports Bar & Pizzeria in Glenside is hosting a Miller Lite Watch Party for the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 regular season opener on Friday, September 6.

Barry Elvidge, Jerzee’s general manager, said that two tickets to the Eagles’ home opener vs. the Falcons on September 16 will be given away during the Packers game.

The season opener will be played at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil against the Green Bay Packers. Kickoff is at 8:15pm.

This will be the Eagles’ second International Series Game in the regular season. They played in London in 2018 and played preseason games in Mexico City in 1978, London in 1989 and ’91, and Tokyo in 1993.

“This landmark first international game in South America demonstrates the ongoing expansion of our global footprint,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell during Super Bowl Week. “Playing on Friday night of Week 1 is a unique way to highlight our international growth and ambitions.”

“The Eagles organization is honored to have been selected to play in the first-ever National Football League game in South America,” said Jeffrey Lurie, Philadelphia Eagles Chairman and CEO, in February when the game was announced. “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. 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.”
