The List of NFL games played outside the United States encompasses a series of National Football League (NFL) games that have taken place outside the traditional confines of the United States. This initiative is part of the NFL's strategy to expand its global reach and engage international audiences. The games include regular-season and preseason contests held in various countries around the world.

History[edit | edit source]

The NFL first held a game outside the United States in 2005, marking the beginning of the NFL International Series. The series initially focused on games played in London, at the iconic Wembley Stadium, but has since expanded to include other venues in the United Kingdom and beyond.

International Series[edit | edit source]

United Kingdom[edit | edit source]

The majority of international NFL games have been held in the United Kingdom, primarily at Wembley Stadium, Twickenham Stadium, and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. These games have generally been well-received, with strong ticket sales and local fan engagement.

Mexico[edit | edit source]

Mexico has hosted several NFL games, mainly at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. These games capitalize on the strong fanbase for American football in Mexico and serve to strengthen the sport's presence in Latin America.

Canada[edit | edit source]

The NFL has also ventured into Canada, with games played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. This was part of the Bills Toronto Series, where the Buffalo Bills played a series of home games in Toronto.

Future Expansion[edit | edit source]

The NFL continues to explore opportunities to host games in other countries, with potential future locations including Germany, Brazil, and Australia. This expansion is part of the league's broader strategy to grow the sport's popularity on a global scale.

Impact[edit | edit source]

The international games have had significant impacts on promoting the NFL globally, increasing the sport's visibility and fanbase outside the United States. They also provide a unique experience for local fans and contribute economically to the host cities.
