The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will play host to the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings against as yet unnamed opposition in the autumn as part of the 2024 International Games series.
The Jacksonville Jaguars will also be returning to Wembley, their home away from home, as part of their multi-year commitment to the UK, with this set to be their 12th game in the capital.
Carolina Panthers are heading to Munich, Germany while Brazil is set to host its first game in Sao Paulo as the NFL continues to grow across the globe – no teams have yet been announced for that fixture.
Peter O’Reilly, executive vice president of club business, league events and international at the NFL, said: “Taking our game to more fans around the world is a major priority for the league and its 32 teams, and we are delighted to be returning to London and Munich in 2024.
“Whether tackle or flag football, international passion for the game and the NFL continues to grow, and having our teams and their world-class athletes play games and engage with fans around the world is an important part of becoming a truly global sport.”
A recent vote by teams means the NFL will have the ability to schedule up to eight international games per season from 2025.
The 2023 season saw the Jags win both their matches this side of the Atlantic – thumping the Atlanta Falcons 23-7 at Wembley and beating the Buffalo Bills 25-20 at Tottenham.
This will be the Vikings’ fourth visit to London after victories in 2013, 2017 and 2022.
Chicago last appeared in London in 2019 and before that 2011.
“We look forward to welcoming these three teams to London for what promises to be another exciting slate of International Games in the UK in 2024,” said Henry Hodgson, general manager of NFL UK.
“Regular season games have been played in London since 2007, and we are delighted to see the commitment to bringing the very best of the NFL to fans in the UK continue.
"Together with the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings, we are excited to continue to give fans exceptional gameday memories as the NFL comes to the capital next season.”
