Jaguars UK - NFL in London

The 2025 NFL season is going global like never before. With seven international games scheduled across five countries—Brazil, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the United Kingdom—the league is deepening its international roots and giving fans around the world a front-row seat to America’s biggest sport.

While we know the home teams and locations, the visiting teams haven’t been officially announced yet. That hasn’t stopped football analysts Ryan and Wade from making bold predictions about who we might see in each matchup. Below is a breakdown of every confirmed game, including the pundits’ takes and key player storylines updated for the 2025 offseason.

🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil – LA Chargers (Home)

Venue: Neo Química Arena (Corinthians Arena)
Ryan’s pick: Washington Commanders
Wade’s pick: Houston Texans

This will be the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in South America. Ryan predicts the Commanders will travel south, featuring second-year QB Jayden Daniels—an exciting face-off against Justin Herbert. Wade believes it’ll be the Houston Texans, led by C.J. Stroud, whose breakout 2023 season continues to fuel their rise as contenders.

🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany – Indianapolis Colts (Home)

Venue: Olympiastadion Berlin
Ryan’s pick: Las Vegas Raiders
Wade’s pick: Arizona Cardinals

Germany gets a new host city in Berlin, with the Colts bringing second-year QB Anthony Richardson to Europe. Ryan predicts a matchup with the Raiders, now starting Geno Smith after a surprising move from Seattle. Wade sees the Cardinals, featuring a healthy and retooled Kyler Murray, coming in as opponents.

🇪🇸 Madrid, Spain – Miami Dolphins (Home)

Venue: Santiago Bernabéu Stadium
Ryan’s pick: New Orleans Saints
Wade’s pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

In the NFL’s first game in Spain, Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins bring speed and style. Ryan imagines them facing the Saints, while Wade forecasts an in-state rivalry with the Buccaneers, anchored by Baker Mayfield and standout WR Mike Evans.

🇮🇪 Dublin, Ireland – Pittsburgh Steelers (Home)

Venue: Croke Park
Ryan’s pick: Green Bay Packers
Wade’s pick: Seattle Seahawks

Ireland hosts its first-ever NFL game, with Pittsburgh’s nod to Ireland. But for this analysis, we’ll focus on the team left behind: Ryan expects the Packers led by Jordan Love, while Wade still associates the Seahawks with their rugged, competitive style—with Sam Arnold looking for something to prove.

🇬🇧 London, UK – Jacksonville Jaguars (Home)

Venue: Wembley Stadium
Ryan’s pick: Kansas City Chiefs
Wade’s pick: Tennessee Titans

London’s most frequent hosts are back. Ryan wants to see the Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, bring a Super Bowl-level clash to Wembley. Wade sees a divisional matchup with the Titans, who just signed Cam Ward as the number one pick.

🇬🇧 London, UK – Cleveland Browns (Home)

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Ryan’s pick: San Francisco 49ers
Wade’s pick: Detroit Lions

Ryan predicts a defensive showdown against the 49ers, still strong with Brock Purdy and a potent run game. Wade prefers the Lions, now one of the league’s most exciting teams, with Jared Goff under center and Amon-Ra St. Brown leading a surging offense.

🇬🇧 London, UK – New York Jets (Home)

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Ryan’s pick: Denver Broncos
Wade’s pick: Dallas Cowboys

The Jets, with Justin Fields at the helm are returning for the second year in a row. Ryan picks the Broncos, possibly starting rookie Bo Nix, for a fresh QB face-off. Wade goes bigger: the Dallas Cowboys, still starring Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons, would turn this into one of the most-watched international games ever.

📆 When Will the NFL International Schedule Be Announced?

The full 2025 NFL schedule—including dates for all international games—is expected to be released in mid-May. Once it drops, tickets will sell fast, especially for first-time host cities like Madrid, São Paulo, and Dublin.

🌎 Final Thoughts: NFL’s Global Push Is Just Beginning

From Mahomes to Cam Ward, Stroud to Tua, the 2025 NFL International Series is set to deliver elite talent, historic venues, and global reach. Ryan and Wade’s predictions offer two compelling perspectives: one focused on marquee matchups, the other on rivalries and rising stars.

Whether you’re rooting for your team from the U.S. or attending games across the globe, this year’s international series promises unforgettable football.

Stay tuned for the official matchups, and be ready to grab your tickets when the schedule drops.

The NFL announced this week that they have granted marketing rights to 18 teams across 26 territories around the world.

Global NFL fans were left to ask themselves, ‘what the heck does this mean? Am I getting a VHS tape of NFL games?’
Not really, you’re getting Home Marketing!

With this new acronym (IMHA), the NFL is allowing teams to reach out directly to the fans, and fan groups to help promote their team(s), as well as develop more of a global following.

If you are looking for some old VHS tapes of NFL games, now you can ask the teams directly!

What Does it Mean for NFL Fans?

Being an NFL fan around the world, means you don’t get as much ‘love’ as the average NFL fan stateside.

Not only do fans have to watch the games at an ungodly hour, but they must suffer through some of the more popular local sports like soccer…rugby…or The Masked Singer. Uggghh!

With this new Home Marketing plan, now fans and fan groups can directly work with the teams, and their marketing departments to offer a more comprehensive fan experience to those outside the country.

It means that fan groups can grow organically, and leaves less chance of fan groups being bullied by the league, local TV networks and bars for trying to support their favourite team(s).

UK Bound

The UK was one of the territories to be a part of this new program, with 6 NFL teams being selected to dance with the fans.

Although slightly less than Mexico’s 9 teams, the UK has once again been rewarded for having fans that not only truly the game, but also support it, no matter what kind of craziness is going on in the world.

NFL in London is one of the largest NFL promoters in Europe, so we will let you know what we hear, and any important news to NFL UK fans.

The six teams that have been selected to take part in the home marketing initiative in the UK includes:

Chicago Bears

Boasting one of the UK’s biggest Bear fans in our man Wade, this is exciting news for all Chicago fans.

The Chicago Bears are one of the few teams in the UK without an active social scene like some of the other fan clubs.
That could change with the Bears now able to pinpoint English fans, and provide them with plenty of Chicago Bears merchandise that has never been seen across the pond.

Welcome to London Chicago Bears!

Jacksonville Jaguars

It’s no surprise that the Jags were included in this list, given their boots on the ground policy from over a decade ago.

Jacksonville has continued to grow their UK fanbase, even while the home numbers dwindled.

Jags UK fans have suffered through expansion hiccups, the Bortles era, Minshew-Mania, and now Urban Decay…but they still keep coming back.

Shad Khan and the Jags team should be happy to reward such faithful fans over the years.

Minnesota Vikings

Tapping into their Scandi heritage, the Vikings have never shied from their European roots.

Minnesota has a new miracle, as the Vikes are another lucky team to be welcomed into the British fold.

The Vikings are another NFC north team to slip across the pond, and the fans couldn’t be happier!

Minnesota Vikings have a solid UK and European fanbase that truly deserves this honour, and will definitely not let the team down!

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins have had a grip on the UK since the Marino and NFL Channel 4 years.

Miami has a surprising amount of fans in England, and might have something to do with the fact that the weather is exactly the opposite to the UK.

Poor Dolphins fans have also had a tough decade in the AFC East, watching TB12 and Billy Boy take title after title, despite a slew of draft picks.

If you needed a second NFL team from Florida, you got one now.

NY Jets

Ever since Jets owner Woody Johnson put the ‘ass; in Ambassador, the New York Jets have circled around the capital.

While Jets fans stateside have been wearing face coverings even before began, English fans have been able to travel in relative anonymity.

This will all change as the New York Jets are another team to grace our shores with their football.

It’s been a rough few years on the Jets, so be nice to them. Who knows you might even be able to make the team?

San Francisco 49ers

San Francisky? Hoo yeah!

Ever since Joe Montana did his thing in the 80s’, the 49ers have been a popular team logo to see on the streets of England.

San Fran and the 49ers are not only hugely popular in the UK, but they are also the most recent of all the teams to go to the Super Bowl!
So there’s that.

Welcome to the United Kingdom San Fran! Mind the gap.

NFL in London

For all those teams that don’t know us, why not reach out.

We love to host parties for all the fans, as well as get communities of fan groups involved in exciting activities.

Here we grow again NFL!

Biden Time

Joe Biden was out and about, and quick to remind NFL fans the need for health safety.

Or else he just hates Aaron Rodgers and wanted to make a fool of him.
