The Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots will all play international games in the 2023 NFL season.
The Chiefs and Patriots will play in Germany. The Bills, Titans and Jaguars will run in London. The Bills and Titans will be the home teams for both games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while the Jaguars will host a game at Wembley Stadium — all as part of a multi-season deal allowing the NFL to play games in the UK.
The league confirmed its plans on Thursday.
The opponents, dates and times of these matches will be revealed when the schedule for the 2023 season is unveiled later this year.
There will be no international match in Mexico in 2023 due to ongoing renovations at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Munich in the first regular season game in NFL history in Germany earlier this season.
Venues for the 2023 international matches will be revealed later. The NFL has already confirmed that Munich and Frankfurt will host NFL games over the next four campaigns.
At the same time, the Goodell circuit continues to study the possibility of presenting more international matches over the next few years, and even of establishing a concession outside the United States.
“There’s nothing imminent,” NFL executive vice-president Peter O’Reilly told The Associated Press. There will obviously be obstacles in setting up a club in Europe. It is our responsibility to continue to study and consider viable solutions. We are able to have these conversations because of the attractiveness of these markets. We have incredible stadiums, and good government partners. These are the foundations of this plan, but it is a complex process that takes time and requires adjustments. It is therefore our responsibility to do our job and carry out the necessary studies.”
Last weekend, the management of the Olympic Park announced that talks are underway with the NFL to organize meetings at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal starting next season.
