On Friday, the Eagles and Packers will kick off the second game of the season in a Week 1 matchup in Sao Paulo, Brazil. However, many fans are complaining about the same thing regarding the broadcast.

“No matter how hard the @NFL tries to get me to sign up for @peacock it will never happen. Moving games to Peacock and Amazon prime is so stupid,” one comment said about the Eagles-Packers game.
“Streaming on Peacock only???? Hell, no, NFL. I’ll just watch the SMU v. BYU college game on the Deuce. Hey, NFL, if you were looking to give us a reason not to watch the game, streaming only was it. See ya Sunday,” another said.
“I am done with the NFL and Roger God All! I will not buy subscriptions to Peacock or any other service to watch the NFL! I am 67 and been watching football on TV for 60 years for free! I will pay for jersey’s, hats and tickets but won’t pat for TV!!! GREED!!!!” a third added.
It seems as though many fans won’t be tuning into the Eagles-Packers game specifically because of this.
Eagles-Packers Matchup Could Be A Playoff Preview
The NFL seems to have considered the options long and hard when deciding which two teams to field for the first-ever NFL game in Brazil.
Many believe that both of these teams should be playoff contenders and Super Bowl hopefuls with a serious shot at winning it all.
Considering both teams are in the NFC, this could become a playoff preview.
