UK NFL fans have a good reason to get excited as the dates for the 2023 London games have officially been announced.
To kick things off, on October 1, the Jacksonville Jaguars will go toe-to-toe with the Atlanta Falcons at the famous Wembley Stadium in what will be their landmark 10th regular season home game in London.
Moving from one iconic location to another, on Sunday, October 8, ‘The Jags’ will make history when they play the Buffalo Bills. For the first time ever, the club will play their second regular season game outside of the US. Thus, giving fans an extra special reason to attend the fixture.
In an epic run for fans located near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, one week later, on Sunday, October 15, the Tennesse Titans will collide with the Baltimore Ravens.
And while that will bring an end to the NFL’s time in the UK, hardcore football enthusiasts can head to Frankfurt, Germany, for a little extra sprinkling of football action.
As part of its commitment to providing the country with NFL fever, the Super Bowl LVII Champion Kansas City Chiefs will clash with the Miami Dolphins at Frankfurt Stadium, home of Eintracht Frankfurt.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. On Sunday, November 12, at the same venue, the New England Patriots will go head-to-head with the Indianapolis Colts.
