NFL Announces London Games for Jets, Browns, and Jaguars in 2025
The New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Jacksonville Jaguars are set to play games in London as part of the NFL's international play initiative next season.
Why it matters: The London games provide an opportunity for these teams to expand their fan bases and showcase their talent on a global stage.
What's new: The Jets and Browns will face off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while the Jaguars will host their game at Wembley Stadium.
Yes, but: Both the Jets and Browns have uncertain quarterback situations heading into the 2025 season, which adds an intriguing element to the London matchups.
- The Browns anticipate the return of Deshaun Watson from injury but may explore other options in free agency or the draft.
- On the other hand, the Jets face uncertainty with Aaron Rodgers contemplating his future in the game.
What to watch: The Jets have played in London four times before, including this season's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Browns have also played in London once, facing the Vikings in 2017.
What's next: Starting in the 2025 season, the NFL can schedule up to eight international regular-season games per year. The league has already announced plans to play games in Berlin and Madrid in 2025.
The bottom line: The NFL's commitment to international games allows fans from around the world to experience the excitement of American football firsthand, while providing teams with valuable exposure and opportunities for growth.
