Could the newest era of Carolina Panthers football kick off in South America?
As part of his annual pre-Super Bowl media availability on Monday afternoon, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced that the Philadelphia Eagles will hosting their first home game of 2024—a Week 1 outing—from São Paulo, Brazil. And hey, look at that—the Panthers are one of nine home opponents for the Birds next season.
Here are the other eight:
- Atlanta Falcons
- Cleveland Browns
- Dallas Cowboys
- Green Bay Packers
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- New York Giants
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- Washington Commanders
But will it be the Panthers making the trip to meet the Eagles in early September?
Well, considering that they already have some vacation plans for next year, it seems rather unlikely.
Last month, the Panthers announced that they’ll be hosting their own international matchup out of Munich, Germany. The game will be played in Allianz Arena, home of FC Bayern Munich.
Plus, Carolina—at least in their current state—may not be the most, um, savory offering the NFL can provide to a fresher audience. There are quite a few considerably better options on the table in Dallas and Green Bay.
So, we wouldn’t advise you to start saving your pennies, Panthers fans.
