NFL Confirms Teams For 2024 London Games
The NFL has released the full schedule for its 2024 international games, confirming all teams for next season’s London fixtures.
The three home teams for this year’s London games will be the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars, all of which hold UK marketing rights, courtesy of the league’s Global Markets programme.
In the first outing, the Vikings will face the New York Jets at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 6th October. This marks the Minnesota franchise’s fifth game in London, and the Jets’ second UK visit in successive seasons.
The following week, the Bears will play as the home team against the Jaguars at the same venue on 13th October, as they return to the British capital for the first time since 2019.
On 20th October, the Jaguars will host the New England Patriots, in their tenth game at Wembley Stadium.
For the second consecutive year, the Jaguars will play two back-to-back games in London, after becoming the first NFL franchise to do so in 2023.
Meanwhile, the NFL Academy will once again play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 8th October, when the Loughborough-based team takes on California-based high school De La Salle.
The upcoming season will kick off with the league’s first ever game in Brazil, with the Philadelphia Eagles set to play the Green Pay Packers at Arena Corinthians in Sao Paolo.
To wrap up the NFL’s 2024 international games, the Carolina Panthers will host the league’s fourth regular season match in Germany when they host the New York Giants on 10th November at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena.
Henry Hodgson, General Manager of NFL UK, said, “The 2024 NFL London Games promise to be a football spectacle once again for fans in the UK and beyond.
“We have played games in London since 2007, and there has never been greater interest in the sport here. We look forward to welcoming the teams to the capital later this year, engaging new fans and bringing the game to new audiences.”
