Three NFL matches are taking place in London in October 2026, as part of nine international games being played outside of the United States in the coming months.

Matches are being held across three consecutive weeks in London at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and at Wembley.

The first game sees the Indianapolis Colts take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday, 4 October in Tottenham. Both teams are returning to London for the first time since 2016.

On Sunday, 11 October, the Jacksonville Jaguars will take on the Philadelphia Eagles. While the Jaguars have played annually in London since 2013, the Eagles are returning for the first time since 2018.

A week after facing the Eagles at Tottenham, the Jaguars will then take on the Houston Texans on Sunday, 18 October at Wembley for the final 2026 match in the city. The Texans are playing their first London game since beating the Jaguars in 2019.

The three 2026 matches will take the total number of games held in London to date to 45. With the exception of 2020, NFL regular season matches have been held annually in London since 2007.

The record for the most NFL games in London in a single year is four, in both 2017 and 2019. No other English city has held NFL regular season matches.

Australia hosted its inaugural NFL match when the San Francisco 49ers beat the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground earlier this season.

Rio De Janeiro and Paris will also host their first NFL matches this season, taking place in September and October respectively.

There will also be one match each hosted by Munich, Mexico City and Madrid, who have all previously held NFL games.
