Get ready, Londoners, the gridiron is coming to town! Big news for UK fans of American football! The NFL has just revealed the teams making their way to London for the 2025 regular season, and excitement is building across the pond.
Three major franchises—the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Jacksonville Jaguars—will each host a game in the vibrant city of London.
Two Iconic Stadiums, Three Exciting Matchups
The action kicks off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which remains the only purpose-built NFL venue outside the U.S. Both the Jets and Browns will take the field in north London, while the Jaguars will return to their spiritual home at Wembley Stadium for the 14th time as part of their multi-year commitment to U.K. fixtures.
“We look forward to welcoming the Jets, Browns and Jaguars to London as part of the 2025 NFL International Games,” said NFL U.K. & Ireland General Manager Henry Hodgson.
“This season will see us surpass 40 regular season games in the capital, a testament to the role the U.K. has played in growing the game globally.
The London games are a continued catalyst for year-round fan engagement and we are focused on serving our 15 million fans, reaching new communities and driving growth in flag football participation, which now sees over 100,000 young people play the game.”
A Special Home Game Away from Home
The Jets, no strangers to international turf, are keen to show Londoners what a New York home game atmosphere is all about.
“We are excited to bring the unique and entertaining atmosphere of a New York Jets home game to London as part of the 2025 NFL International Games,” said New York Jets President Hymie Elhai.
“It is another great opportunity for our organization to build upon our brand and fandom in the U.K. which we have enjoyed cultivating the last few years.
The success of the NFL’s international games speaks directly to the sport’s increasing global reach, and we are proud to continue as ambassadors of the game.”
Meanwhile, the Browns are making their first appearance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a move hailed by David Jenkins, Haslam Sports Group COO:
“We’re thrilled to be named a designated team for the 2025 NFL London Games, making our second international trip as a club and our first time playing at the incredible Tottenham Hotspur Stadium,” said Haslam Sports Group COO David Jenkins.
“We look forward to playing in front of our fans in the U.K. this upcoming season and to help continue to grow both the Browns and the NFL’s global popularity.”
The Jaguars Return to Wembley
Completing the London lineup are the Jacksonville Jaguars, primed for yet another game at Wembley—regarded by many fans as the Jaguars’ home away from home.
Owner Shad Khan praised the enduring relationship with the Football Association: “We are once again delighted that we will be back in London later this year for our 14th game in the capital and are grateful for our extended partnership with the Football Association that makes it possible to play another home game at Wembley Stadium, one of the world’s most iconic stadiums and the Jaguars’ home away from home”.
“The game is the pinnacle of the amazing work we do every day at a grassroots level and I’m proud that our JagTag flag football program reached over 100,000 young people in 2024, helping to grow the sport of American football outside the U.S.”
Growing the Game Beyond the U.S.
The Jets and Jaguars both hold marketing rights in the U.K. under the NFL’s Global Markets Program, which allows teams to build brand awareness through fan events, partnerships, and local sponsorships.
While the exact opponents and the game dates are yet to be confirmed, the NFL aims to release the 2025 full schedule this spring. It’s also worth noting that from 2025 onward, the league can schedule up to eight regular season games overseas, bolstering efforts to develop new fan bases.
NFL’s Expanding International Footprint
Football enthusiasts worldwide will also get to see the NFL heading to Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and Berlin’s Olympic Stadium.
These announcements underline the league’s growing global footprint, adding a fresh layer of excitement for the sport’s international audience.
