According to the NFL, four games will be played in London during the 2019 season.
Passionate NFL fans packed Wembley Stadium this season, and the league has taken notice with the addition of a fourth game.
After a season finale with an attendance of 85,870 when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, there was little to no doubt that the presence of NFL fandom in London is very much alive.
All three games this season were played at Wembley Stadium. Next season with an addition game being added to the schedule, there will be two games at Wembley Stadium and another two will be taking place at Tottenham’s new White Hart Lane.
NFL Executive Vice President of International Mark Waller stated:
“The games in the past few weeks have once again demonstrated the incredible passion of NFL fans in the UK […] The support of our stadium partners, the Mayor of London and the Minister for Sport gives us a great foundation for further development of the sport and the ability to give our fans even more NFL games in the coming years.”
Matchups have not been announced for the 2019 London NFL games, but the Jaguars have already confirmed they will continue to play one home game a year in London, per NBC Sports.
