The NFL announced the designated teams set to play in London and Munich as part of the 2024 International Games.
The Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars will each play international games in London during the 2024 regular season, while the Carolina Panthers will head to Munich, Germany. Each team's opponent, along with the dates and kickoff times, will be announced when the 2024 schedule is revealed this spring.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the U.S. — will host games featuring the Bears and Vikings, while the Jaguars will return to Wembley Stadium in what will be their 12th game in the capital.
Munich will again host a regular season game, with the Panthers set to play in Allianz Arena — home of FC Bayern Munich. The NFL's first regular season game in Germany was played in 2022 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 21-16.
The NFL has also announced it will play a regular season game in São Paulo and Corinthians Arena in 2024 — the first ever in South America. The designated team will be named in the coming months ahead of the announcement of the 2024 NFL schedule.
“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," said Peter O'Reilly, executive vice president, club business, league events and international at the NFL. “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."
All four designated teams playing in the U.K. and Germany are part of the NFL's Global Markets Program, which awards international marketing rights to NFL teams in countries beyond the U.S. The Bears, Vikings and Jaguars have international marketing rights in the U.K. and the Panthers have rights in Germany.
There will be no international game in Mexico in 2024 because of renovations to Estadio Azteca. The league has confirmed that games will return once stadium renovations are complete.
With the expansion of the NFL schedule in 2021, up to four of the teams from the conference whose teams are eligible for a ninth regular-season home game are now designated to play a neutral-site international game each year.
Recently, NFL clubs voted to increase league-operated international games from four to up to eight games a season, beginning in 2025. New markets and host cities/stadiums for future seasons will be announced at later dates.
