Jaguars & Commanders Bring Home Games to London
The NFL’s international push continues as the Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Commanders take their home turf across the Atlantic. For Jacksonville, it’s a familiar stage and a steadily growing fanbase. For Washington, it’s a long-awaited return to London after several years away.
The UK once again becomes a second home for American football, driven by sold-out crowds, and a passionate fanbase that embraces the NFL with unmatched enthusiasm. With two of the three games set to be hosted at the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, demand is expected to soar.
Here’s everything you need to know about NFL London 2026.
Their London History
The Jaguars have been pioneers of the NFL’s UK expansion. Since 2013, Jacksonville has hosted 14 regular season home games in London, building one of the strongest overseas fanbases in the league, a true ‘home away from home’. Their long-term commitment to playing in London has played a major role in establishing the city as a permanent fixture on the NFL schedule.
The case for the Commanders, however, feels a little different. Returning to London for the first time in a decade, their comeback marks more than just another international fixture. It is an opportunity not only to reconnect with an established UK fanbase, but also to inspire a new generation of supporters.
Together, these franchises have played a major role in turning London from just another international stop on the schedule into a genuine NFL stronghold.
A Season of Opportunity
The 2026 NFL season already feels like one fans have been waiting for, promising drama, growth and genuine opportunity across the league. The schedule is packed with fierce rivalries and big-name clashes. Whether it’s a Thursday night under the lights or a tense Monday night finish, fans certainly won’t be short of action.
For the Jacksonville Jaguars, this is a season about building on momentum and proving they belong among NFL’s leading contenders. With continuity, confidence and an established international presence, they enter the campaign with rising expectations that a playoff is within reach.
The Washington Commanders, beaming with young talent, the trip to London feels like a real opportunity. This London stage could prove to be a defining moment in their push toward the playoffs.
Taking the Stage at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Due to ongoing renovations at the Jaguars’ home stadium in Jacksonville, the team will host back-to-back home games in London in 2026 - including one at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This is a rare opportunity. Two official home games overseas mean increased demand, heightened attention, and an even bigger event atmosphere. For fans and corporate clients alike, this makes 2026 one of the most exciting years yet to attend an NFL London game.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is purpose-built for NFL games, with facilities designed specifically to host American football at the highest level. The sightlines, fan areas and hospitality spaces make it one of the best venues outside the United States to experience the sport.
What to expect next?
The full details for the NFL London 2026 games, including dates and opponents, are set to be confirmed at a later date.
The 2026 NFL regular season is due to kick off in early September, following the traditional season opener featuring the reigning Super Bowl champions. From there, the action runs through to the playoffs in January, culminating in the Super Bowl in February 2027.
