The New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Jacksonville Jaguars will all be heading to London next season to play NFL games.
The Jets and Browns will face off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while the Jaguars will return to the iconic Wembley Stadium for their game.
Game Details and Opponents
The full NFL schedule, including the teams’ opponents, will be revealed in the spring.
It’s exciting to know that these games will bring international attention to the league once again, but the specific matchups are still under wraps.
Expanding Global Reach: More Games in Europe
Next season, the NFL is also branching out with games in other international locations.
The league will play a regular-season game at the Santiago Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid, as well as in Berlin, Germany, at the Olympic Stadium.
The Jets’ Struggles and Uncertainty
The Jets had a rough season, losing 17-23 to the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham’s stadium earlier this year.
After a disappointing season with a 5-12 record, their playoff hopes fell apart, and questions about the future of the team loom large.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is still contemplating whether he will return for another season.
With Rodgers approaching 41, there’s no guarantee the Jets will bring him back, even if he decides to continue playing.
The franchise is currently searching for a new head coach and general manager, which could ultimately help shape the team’s direction in the coming seasons.
Chiefs Fans’ Hopes
For fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, there’s a glimmer of hope to catch their team in London next year.
The Chiefs are only scheduled to face the Jaguars on the road in 2025, so Chiefs fans will be crossing their fingers that the Jaguars get picked to play at Wembley.
Jaguars’ New Beginning
The Jaguars are also undergoing changes after firing head coach Doug Pederson earlier this week.
Finishing the season with a 4-13 record in the AFC South, the team is now on the lookout for a new leader to turn things around.
What’s Next for the NFL?
As the season wraps up and teams undergo changes, it’s clear that the NFL’s international expansion will continue to play a major role.
The upcoming games in London, Spain, and Germany are just the beginning of the league’s global push, and fans are eager to see what the future holds.
