Packers vs. Eagles camera angle, explained: Why Brazil's Corinthians Arena forced NFL into lower broadcast view

The Packers and Eagles are far from the (un)friendly confines Lambeau Field and Lincoln Financial Field to kick off their 2024 NFL seasons.

Instead, Green Bay and Philadelphia are facing off in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as part of the NFL's effort to grow American football on an international scale.

Yet as fans tuned into the second game of the season, they were quick to realize that the camera angle did not match that of a typical NFL broadcast.

Why does the camera angle look different for Packers vs. Eagles? The Sporting News breaks it down below.

Packers vs. Eagles camera angle, explained

Fans watching the Packers vs. Eagles game on Peacock noticed that the camera angle is different than what NFL viewers have come to expect.

That is because the game is being played at Corinthians Arena — a soccer stadium that is home to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista.

Soccer games are usually broadcast at a different angle than NFL games. Since the game between Green Bay and Philadelphia is the only American football game being played in Sao Paulo this season, the NFL had to make do with what the stadium could offer.

You can find a shot of the broadcast angle below, which is wider than for a typical NFL game.

Any time fans are given camera angles to which they are not accustomed, the change creates a stir. The same complaints come through whenever the broadcast switches up to the backfield view in football or the low sideline view in basketball.

The camera angle in Sao Paulo isn't all that different from the standard NFL view, it is just a wider in than usual. Some viewers compared it to football's all-22 film angle, which received its name because it shows all 22 players on the field.

The internet still found a way to make it a talking point from this game, though — with plenty of social media complaints as well as a few compliments.
