The New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Jacksonville Jaguars are set to host home games in London during the NFL's 2025 season. This announcement reflects the NFL's ongoing efforts to expand its international presence and enhance fan engagement across the globe.

The Jets and the Browns will be the designated home teams at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while the Jaguars will return to the iconic Wembley Stadium. This is a continuation of Jacksonville's multi-year commitment to playing an annual game in London, where they have enjoyed substantial success, currently holding a 7-6 record in international play since their series inception in 2013, as noted by BBC.

The upcoming games mark a significant opportunity for fan meeting and engagement in the U.K., showcasing the excitement of NFL football. "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," said Henry Hodgson, NFL U.K. & Ireland general manager, in a statement shared with AP News.

The games are a part of the league’s International Series, which allows for enhanced marketing opportunities and increased football engagement in international markets. Cleveland’s only previous appearance in London resulted in a loss to the Vikings during their 0-16 season in 2017, while the Jets are looking to secure their first win in their fourth trip overseas, having lost to Minnesota in 2024.

The complete schedule for the 2025 season, including dates and opponents for these London games, is expected to be revealed this spring. Upcoming regular-season games are also planned for Berlin and Madrid, indicating the NFL's expansion efforts are in full swing following a successful history of games played in London, which includes 39 games since 2007 Reuters.

This initiative represents a significant milestone as the NFL endeavors to grow its fan base outside the United States, with football participation among young people in the UK also on the rise, highlighting the effectiveness of such international engagements.
