NFL expands to seven international games in 2025

The NFL is set to make history in 2025 by holding a record seven international games. This marks the first time the league will exceed five international games in a single season. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has expressed a desire to eventually reach 16 international games each year. The games will take place in five cities, including Dublin, Madrid, and Berlin, which will host regular-season games for the first time. The NFL has announced the home teams for these matches, but specific opponents are still to be determined. In London, the Jacksonville Jaguars will host a game at Wembley Stadium. Possible opponents include the Texans, Colts, and Rams. The Jaguars have a strong history in London and are likely to attract a competitive team. The Cleveland Browns will also play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They have not visited London since 2017, and their likely opponents include the Titans and 49ers. The New York Jets are set to play at the same stadium. Given their history, possible opponents could be the Cowboys or Panthers, as the NFL could aim for a marquee matchup. In Dublin, the Pittsburgh Steelers will host a game at Croke Park. There's speculation the Green Bay Packers could be an opponent, especially if Aaron Rodgers signs with the Steelers. The Miami Dolphins will play their home game in Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. They might face thrilling opponents, such as the Bengals or Commanders. In Berlin, the Indianapolis Colts will host a game at the Olympic Stadium. They are expected to play against AFC teams, likely the Broncos or Raiders. Finally, the Los Angeles Chargers will host a game in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Possible opponents are the Texans or Commanders, as the NFL continues to expand its reach internationally. Overall, while the NFL could make surprises, it seems they will follow recent traditions by not scheduling divisional games outside of North America.
