NFL Returns to London with Stellar Line-up: A Showcase of International Football Excitement
Excitement Builds as NFL Returns to London with Stellar Line-up
The NFL has made its highly-anticipated return to London, treating fans to a star-studded line-up for this year’s international series.
Continuing its growth in Europe, the league has scheduled five regular-season games on this side of the Atlantic for the first time. Among them, two games will take place in Germany in November, featuring a clash between the Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the in-form Miami Dolphins. But before that, the focus is on London, where three consecutive games will kick off at 14:30 BST on Sundays.
The series commences this Sunday at Wembley, with the Jacksonville Jaguars returning to their second home. Since 2013, the Jaguars have been a regular presence in the London series, and their commitment will extend until at least 2024.
As quarterback Trevor Lawrence of the Jaguars pointed out, their London visit this year is not just a single game, but a unique opportunity for double-dipping. They will become the first NFL team to play two regular-season games outside the United States in the same season. After their first game, they will remain in town to face the Buffalo Bills, led by Josh Allen, at Tottenham next Sunday. This marks the first time since 2016 that two teams from the previous season’s playoffs will meet in London.
Following this thrilling encounter, the spotlight will shift to Tottenham, where fans will witness a clash between two teams that have consistently made playoff appearances in recent years. The stage will be set for the NFL’s modern greats to shine in this exhilarating showdown.
The return of the NFL to London promises unforgettable moments and showcases the growing popularity of American football on an international scale. Fans in London and across Europe eagerly anticipate the thrilling matchups and the chance to witness their favorite teams and players up close.
