The Eagles will face the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 22, for their first official road game of the season, an NFL source said.

The 2024 campaign opens in Brazil on Sept. 6 against the Green Bay Packers, but the Eagles will be the “home” team at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo. They then host the Falcons on Sept. 16 at Lincoln Financial Field, according to a PHLY report.

The Eagles will play at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 29 in Week 4, an NFL source said.

For those unwilling to travel to Brazil, an early-season trip to New Orleans should be a popular destination for Eagles fans.

In February, the league announced the Eagles would play in the first-ever NFL game to be held in South America. The meeting with the Packers will start at 8:15 p.m. Philadelphia time.

Against the Bucs, the Eagles will be looking to avenge the embarrassing playoff loss at Tampa in January that ended one of the worst season-ending spells in team history. The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

A bye week follows the Bucs game. It will be the Eagles’ earliest week off since 2016 when the bye came in Week 4.

The following teams also are slated to play the Eagles in Philadelphia this season: their NFC East rivals the Cowboys, Giants, and Commanders, and the NFC’s Panthers, and, from the AFC, the Browns, Jaguars, and Steelers.

The Eagles have six more road games at the Cowboys, Giants, Commanders, Rams, Ravens and Bengals.

The complete schedule will officially be released at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
