NFL Expands 2026 International Slate as Jaguars, Eagles Land in London

What changed

The NFL is staging a record nine international games in 2026, including London fixtures involving the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles.

For Jacksonville, this week marks a return to familiar territory: the Jaguars’ 15th and 16th regular-season games in London since 2013. The two fixtures are also the NFL’s 44th and 45th games in the UK since 2007.

Why it matters

London is no longer an occasional stop on the NFL calendar. Jacksonville’s repeated presence gives the league a durable anchor in the city, while Philadelphia’s involvement adds another major club to this year’s international schedule.

The bigger change is scale. Nine overseas games in one season makes international play a central part of the NFL’s calendar, not a small experiment around the edges. That puts London inside a broader expansion of the league’s regular-season footprint.

The exact opponents, venues, dates and commercial results have not been stated. But the pattern is clear: Jacksonville keeps returning, Philadelphia joins this week’s London slate, and the NFL is committing to more games beyond the United States.
