NFL names Las Vegas as presenting partner for 2024 London games
The NFL has unveiled The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) as the league’s lead partner across the UK and Ireland.

The announcement comes ahead of the 2024 NFL season, which kicks off later today when Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs face the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium.
Earlier this year, Las Vegas hosted the Super Bowl for the first time at Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders.
“We’re looking forward to working with Las Vegas as lead partner for the 2024 NFL season and 2024 NFL London Games,” said henry Hodgson, General Manager of NFL UK and Ireland.
“Las Vegas is famed for its exciting and fast-paced sports landscape, and we’re thrilled to bring the same to London with three games this year.”
