NFL confirms game in São Paulo in 2025 with Chargers as home team at Neo Química Arena
The NFL has officially confirmed its return to Brazil in 2025 with another game at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo. After the success of the league’s first-ever game in the country in 2024, the organization has announced that the Los Angeles Chargers will be the designated home team for the event on September 5. The opponent has not yet been disclosed, but expectations are high that the AFC team will face a strong regular-season rival. The announcement was made this Wednesday (19) during a press conference attended by NFL executives, São Paulo city officials, and representatives from Corinthians, the stadium’s owners.
The NFL’s return to Brazil reinforces the league’s strategy to expand into international markets, making the country a priority destination. In 2024, the inaugural game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers attracted over 47,000 fans and generated a significant economic impact on São Paulo. Mayor Ricardo Nunes highlighted the benefits of hosting the event in the city, citing job creation and increased tourism.
With the confirmation of the 2025 game, Neo Química Arena remains on the official schedule of NFL international games. Expectations are that this edition will surpass the success of the previous year, with improvements in infrastructure and fan engagement. Ticket sales have not yet started, but given the high demand in 2024, tickets are expected to sell out quickly.

Growth of American football in Brazil and the NFL’s impact in the country
Hosting official NFL games in Brazil has fueled the growth of American football in the country. The success of the first event in 2024 demonstrated the strong interest of Brazilian fans in the sport, reflecting the rise in the number of viewers, increased TV broadcast ratings, and the growing market for official NFL merchandise. Currently, Brazil is estimated to have around 35 million NFL fans, making it one of the most significant markets outside the United States.
Beyond TV broadcasts and digital engagement, the NFL’s presence in Brazil has encouraged the development of local competitions. The Brazilian American Football Championship, organized by the Brazilian Confederation of American Football (CBFA), has seen a rise in the number of participating teams and sponsors. The sport’s popularity has also led to an increase in training programs and amateur teams across the country.
The economic impact of the NFL in Brazil is also noteworthy. According to estimates from São Paulo’s city government, the 2024 game generated approximately $60 million in local economic activity, boosting industries such as hospitality, tourism, food services, and transportation. In 2025, the impact is expected to be even greater, attracting fans from all over Brazil and abroad.
NFL’s international expansion and Brazil as a key market
The NFL’s international expansion strategy has been a priority in recent years, with official games being held in various countries. For the 2025 season, in addition to the Brazil game, the league has confirmed matchups in London, Berlin, Madrid, Dublin, and Melbourne. This initiative aims to grow the NFL’s global fan base and strengthen its presence in new markets.
Brazil has become a focal point in this strategy due to its large number of NFL fans and the commercial potential of the country. The league’s presence in Brazil extends beyond games, including marketing campaigns, promotional events, and engagement activities for fans. The NFL has also invested in partnerships with local brands to increase visibility in the Brazilian market.
The selection of Neo Química Arena as the host venue for another NFL game highlights São Paulo’s significance in the international sports scene. The Corinthians stadium received praise for its facilities in the 2024 edition, providing a positive experience for both fans and teams. Its prime location and accessibility are key factors contributing to the success of the event.
Potential opponents for the Chargers and expectations for the game
Although the Los Angeles Chargers’ opponent has not been announced yet, several teams stand out as likely candidates for the game in São Paulo. Among the teams scheduled to play the Chargers as visitors in the 2025 season, the Houston Texans, Minnesota Vikings, and Washington Commanders are the top contenders. These franchises do not have other international commitments so far, increasing their chances of being selected for the matchup in Brazil.
The final decision on the opponent should be revealed in the coming months when the NFL releases the official 2025 season schedule. The choice may consider factors such as the team’s popularity in Brazil, the game’s marketability, and logistical feasibility for international travel.
The Chargers head to Brazil after a solid 2024 season, in which they secured 11 wins and clinched a playoff berth. The team is known for its dynamic offensive play and for having talented quarterback Justin Herbert, one of the NFL’s brightest young stars. Their performance last season raises expectations for the São Paulo game, which promises to be one of Brazil’s major sporting events in 2025.
Ticket sales and event details in São Paulo
Ticket sales for the NFL game in São Paulo have not yet begun, but they are expected to go on sale in June 2025. In 2024, tickets sold out quickly, and demand is expected to be equally high for the next edition. Neo Química Arena has a capacity of around 50,000 spectators, and the event’s organizers are working to make the fan experience even better than before.
Ticket prices are likely to remain similar to those of the previous edition, with costs varying by stadium section. In 2024, the most affordable tickets were priced around R$300, while premium seats exceeded R$1,500. The event will also feature special packages, offering exclusive fan experiences such as access to team practices, promotional events, and VIP areas.
Beyond the main game, the NFL is planning a series of activities in São Paulo to promote the event and engage the audience. These will include meet-and-greets with former players, brand activations, and interactive fan zones. The goal is to create a full-scale NFL experience, strengthening the league’s connection with Brazilian fans.
Future expectations for the NFL in Brazil
With the successful introduction of games in Brazil, the NFL may further expand its presence in the country in the coming years. There are discussions about bringing multiple games to Brazil in the future, extending the league’s international calendar. Another possibility being considered is hosting official NFL events, such as the Draft and Pro Bowl, on Brazilian soil.
The continued hosting of NFL games in São Paulo helps strengthen American football in Brazil and solidifies the country as one of the league’s top markets outside the United States. The growing fan base, positive economic impact, and enthusiastic reception from the public indicate that Brazil plays a crucial role in the NFL’s global expansion. As preparations continue, the upcoming 2025 game promises to be another milestone in the league’s journey in South America.
