NFL Teams Swap Home Turf for London Adventure in 2025
London, United KingdomFri Jan 10 2025
Get ready, sports fans! The New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Jacksonville Jaguars are trading their home stadiums for a trip across the pond. In 2025, these three NFL teams will play regular-season games in London. The Jaguars are old pros at this, with 14 games under their belt in the UK. They'll be at the familiar Wembley Stadium. Meanwhile, the Jets and Browns will play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of the NFL's ongoing deal. Who they'll face and when? That's still a mystery!
The NFL has big plans for Europe in 2025, with five games scheduled in total. Joining London are Madrid and Berlin as host cities. Why these teams and not others? It's all about the rotation. In odd-numbered years, AFC teams get nine home games, so they're the ones jetting off for international adventures.
Speaking of jetting off, the NFL's owners have voted to play up to eight games a year outside the U. S. Through 2024, 55 regular-season games have been played abroad. That's a lot of football traveling the globe!
So, buckle up, football fans! 2025 promises some exciting international matchups.
