First-Ever Regular Season Games in Melbourne, Rio De Janeiro and Paris

League Returns to London, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City

The National Football League has unveiled the full 2026 International Games schedule, which will see a record-breaking nine games played across four continents, seven countries and eight stadiums next season.

Melbourne (Australia), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), London (U.K.), Paris (France), Madrid (Spain), Munich (Germany) and Mexico City (Mexico) will all host international games in 2026 as part of the league’s long-term commitment to global expansion.

“The 2026 NFL season will feature our most expansive and ambitious international slate yet, with regular-season games spanning Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, London, Paris, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City,” said Peter O’Reilly, NFL Executive Vice President of Club Business, Major Events and International.

Six of nine games in Europe

Six of these NFL International Games will take place in Europe.

London will host three consecutive games in the 2026 NFL season, which will take the total number of regular season games played in the U.K. since 2007 to 45. Two games will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and one at Wembley Stadium.

The first Tottenham Hotspur game will take place on Sunday, Oct. 4, with the Indianapolis Colts facing the Washington Commanders. The second matchup, to be played on Sunday, Oct. 11, will see the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

16th London game for Jaguars

The Jaguars will then head to Wembley Stadium to play the Houston Texans on Sunday, Oct. 18, in what will be their 16th game in the capital and the third time they will play back-to-back games in London in one season.

The international slate then moves to Paris for the first regular season matchup in France, with the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Oct. 25, at the Stade de France.

Back in Madrid and Munich

On Sunday, Nov. 8, the Cincinnati Bengals face the Atlanta Falcons at the Bernabéu Stadium – home to Real Madrid C.F. – as the NFL returns to the Spanish capital for a second consecutive regular season game.

The final European game of the season will be staged in Munich, Germany at FC Bayern Munich Arena where the New England Patriots take on the Detroit Lions. The game, to be played on Sunday, Nov. 15, will mark the sixth regular-season game to be held in Germany, and the third to be played in Munich.
