The NFL is expanding its international presence, with the Jacksonville Jaguars set to play two home games in London during the 2026 season. The Washington Commanders will also host a London game, marking their first appearance in the city since 2016. These games are part of a record nine international contests scheduled across four continents, highlighting the league's global ambitions.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St Brown will have a special experience, as his team will play in Munich, Germany. This opportunity is particularly meaningful due to his German heritage. The dates and opponents for these games will be revealed in May. The NFL's commitment to the UK is evident, with the London games attracting a growing fanbase.

Additionally, the NFL is considering a return to Dublin, Ireland, following the success of the 2025 game. While a Dublin game isn't immediately planned for 2026, discussions about future games are ongoing. The league is actively working to increase its global footprint, with games also slated for Australia, Brazil, France, Mexico, and Spain, underscoring the NFL's international expansion. The Jacksonville Jaguars will play at Wembley and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
