The NFL will be the story in 2025 by having a total of seven international games. Since the start of the international series in 2007, the League has never won more than five games outside the United States in one season.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he would like Finally see 16 international games By season, so the league is already almost halfway through its goal.
The seven games will be played in five different cities, including three cities – Dublin, Madrid and Berlin – which will organize a regular season game for the first time. The NFL has already announced the home teams for the seven games, but if you have missed these announcements or if you just remember who played abroad, we have covered you here.
We will examine where the games are played with the home team in each match and which could be their possible opponent. When it comes to predicting the possible opponent for each match, the NFL has not planned any division match to be played outside North America since 2019. Although we may have been able to see a division game this year, it’s been six years now, so we will assume that the League sticks to its new tradition not to send a division games abroad.
2025 International NFL Games
Location: London (Wembley stadium)
Home team: Jaguars
Possible adversaries: Texans, Colts, Titans, Chiefs, Chargers, Jets, Rams, Seahawks, Panthers
Breakdown: Jags head for London For the 12th time in 13 seasons. Although the jags have played two games in London in each of the last two seasons, this probably does not happen this year, because they should not play the other two London teams – Jets or Browns – on the road. As for their possible opponent: the Rams have not played an international game since 2019, it would therefore not be surprising to see them sent to London, although they are Inherit a game in Australia in 2026. The Seahawks could also make sense: they played in Germany in 2022, but they have not played in London since 2018. An interesting option could be the jets. The NFL could make them play as a visiting team against the Jags in London, then follow this by making them the home team in London the following week. The Jags played consecutive matches in London in each of the last two seasons, so it would not be completely crazy if the NFL had the jets do it in 2025.
Planned opponent: Rams or Seahawks.
Location: London (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
Home team: Brown
Possible adversaries: Steelers, Bengals, Ravens, Bills, Dolphins, Titans, Packers, Vikings, 49ers
Breakdown: The Browns go to London for the first time in eight years. The last time they were in England came in 2017 when they played the Vikings. Although a revenge match would have a certain meaning, the Vikings went to London last year, so they probably left. The 49ers have not been to London since 2013, so they certainly feel like an option. Titans also feel like an attractive option because it will give fans in England a chance to see the overall choice n ° 1 in the draft of the NFL at Cam Ward.
Planned opponent: Titans or 49ers.
Location: London (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
Home team: Plane
Possible adversaries: Patriots, Dolphins, Bills, Browns, Steelers, Broncos, Falcons, Panthers, Cowboys
Breakdown: Cowboys only played one international game, which is tied with the Browns, Steelers and Commanders to say the least. Browns and Steelers play an international game this year, so it will not be surprising that the NFL also gives one to the cowboys and commanders. Most teams do not want to lose a home match against cowboys, which is why they rarely play abroad, but it could make sense this year, because 2025 could be a reconstruction season for Dallas.
Planned opponent: Cowboys or panthers.
Location: Dublin (Croke Park)
Home team: Aceurs
Possible adversaries: Ravens, Bengals, Browns, Bills, Dolphins, Colts, Vikings, Packers, Seahawks
Breakdown: There have been speculation that the packers will head to Ireland with the Steelers, but it is certainly not a lock. If Aaron Rodgers signs with the Steelers – and things seem to point this way – the NFL will not send “Rodgers against the Packers” of the country. If Rodgers does not sign when the calendar comes out, the NFL would probably want to keep the Steelers-Packers in Pittsburgh in case it signs. Bills could be a sexy choice, but the Steelers will probably not want to lose an advantage on the ground against an opponent of the OPC operational of the Super Bowl, so they will almost push to keep this game at Pittsburgh. It will be the first Regular season match never played in Ireland.
Planned opponent: Vikings or Seahawks.
Location: Madrid (Santiago Bernabéu stadium)
Home team: Dolphins
Possible adversaries: Bills, patriots, jets, ravens, bengals, charge, saints, buccaneers, commanders
Breakdown: The mayor of Madrid recently revealed that this game would be played in November, but despite certain speculations on the Internet, he did not reveal who will play the dolphins. Whenever the NFL puts a game in a new city For the first time, the league generally tries to plan a splashing match and the Dolphins definitively have splashing opponents on their calendar. Baltimore, Cincinnati and Washington would all make sense. The NFL will certainly want to present the commanders in several games on the island this year after their race for the title NFC last season, and as we have already mentioned, Washington only played one international match in the history of the franchise, it therefore seems that there is a good chance that they will soon get another. Commanders could also play Brazil, so if they are not sent to Spain, they could find themselves in Sao Paulo. The first match in Spain would also be a perfect place for a Joe Burrow confrontation against Tua Tagovailoa. Dolphins and Bengals are the only two NFL teams with a QB which earns more than $ 50 million per year, plus two receivers who earn more than $ 28 million per year.
Planned opponent: Commanders or Bengals.
Location: Berlin (Olympic stadium)
Home team: Foal
Possible adversaries: Texans, Jaguars, Titans, Broncos, Raiders, Dolphins, Cardinals, 49ers, Falcons
Breakdown: The NFL has been organizing matches in Germany since 2022, but it will be Mark the first time that Berlin Hosted one. The four previous games in Germany all had one thing in common: they presented teams from the same conference, which gives the impression that the colts will play an AFC team. If the NFL takes this path, you can cross the Dolphins, because they play in Spain, which leaves us two non -divisible opponents of the AFC.
Planned opponent: Broncos or raiders.
Location: Sao Paulo (Corinthians Arena)
Home team: Chargers
Possible adversaries: Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders, Texans, Colts, Steelers, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings
Breakdown: Like Brazil’s first match, this match will be played Friday in week 1, it is a privileged place in the NFL calendar. Although the NFL hesitated to plan all the division matches outside the country, this could change this year. Athletics reported in April that the chiefs are the best team in consideration Land in this match against the charge. As we have already mentioned, commanders could also be an intriguing option because they only had to play an international game in the history of the franchise. The Texans have not played an international game since 2019, so they could also be studied.
Planned opponent: Commanders or chiefs.
Remember that the NFL could launch a curved ball and put a division match in one of these spots, including the Brazil match, but as we have said, the league did not schedule a division match outside of North America in six years, we have therefore made our forecasts with the expectation that the league will be held to this formula.
The NFL will announce the match for each international match, as well as the full calendar of 2025 on May 14.
