The NFL announced Wednesday that it will play a game in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2024 as part of its International Series. The game will mark the first time the NFL plays a game in South America as it continues to grow the game beyond the United States.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported Tuesday that the NFL was considering a game in a new country during its owners meetings this week, with São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Madrid, Spain, the finalists. This year, the NFL had games played in the United Kingdom and Germany, and the league has previously sent regular-season games to Mexico City and Canada as well.
