National Football League owners have approved an increase in league-operated international game inventory from four to as many as eight games a season beginning in 2025, as the league continues to emphasize global growth as a major strategic priority.
“Becoming a global sport is a major strategic priority for the league and 32 teams,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “Increasing international game inventory allows us to grow our global presence and share our game with exciting new markets to connect with more fans around the world.”
The NFL also announced it will play a regular-season game in São Paulo, Brazil — the first NFL game in South America — in 2024. With the game in Brazil, the NFL will have played a game (preseason or regular season) in five of the seven continents around the world.
In addition to the game in São Paulo, the 2024 NFL International Games will see three games played in London: two at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and a third at Wembley Stadium, where the Jacksonville Jaguars will play a home game as part of a multi-year partnership. A fifth game will see the NFL back in Germany for a third consecutive year, returning to Allianz Arena in Munich.
