Which NFL Teams Are Playing In London In 2026?

NFL fans in the UK have plenty to look forward to in October 2026, with three regular-season games taking place in London across three consecutive Sundays.

The 2026 London schedule will see games played at both Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium, with the Jacksonville Jaguars making two appearances during their annual commitment to playing in the UK. The three fixtures are part of a record nine international NFL games being played across the 2026 season.

These fixtures will bring excitement to fans of UK-based NFL fans, some of whom will be lucky enough to secure tickets. No doubt, UK sports betting sites, that are often firmly centred around soccer and horse racing, will see greater interest in their American Football markets.

Here is a look at the three games coming to London.

Indianapolis Colts vs Washington Commanders

Date: Sunday, October 4, 2026

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The first London game of 2026 will see the Indianapolis Colts take on the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 2:30 pm UK time, making it an ideal opportunity for British NFL fans to watch a live regular-season game without staying up late into the evening.

Both the Colts and Commanders will be making their return to London for the first time in several years. The matchup will open this year's three-game London series and will take place during Week 4 of the NFL regular season.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has become an established venue for NFL games in London, with the purpose-built facilities providing an American football setting as well as hosting Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League fixtures.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Date: Sunday, October 11, 2026

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

A week later, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host the Philadelphia Eagles against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The fixture takes place on Sunday, October 11, with a scheduled 2:30 pm UK kick-off.

This game will have particular interest for Jaguars supporters, as Jacksonville are one of the NFL's most regular visitors to London. The team has played numerous regular-season games in the UK since 2013 and has developed a strong connection with the London games.

The Eagles will also be returning to London, giving fans the chance to see one of the NFL's best-known franchises in action at Tottenham.

Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Date: Sunday, October 18, 2026

Venue: Wembley Stadium

The final London game of 2026 will move across the capital to Wembley Stadium.

On Sunday, October 18, the Houston Texans will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in an AFC South matchup. The game is scheduled to begin at 2:30 pm UK time.

It means Jacksonville will play in London on consecutive Sundays, first facing Philadelphia at Tottenham before travelling to Wembley to meet Houston.

For Jaguars fans, the Wembley fixture continues the franchise's long-standing relationship with the UK. Jacksonville have played more regular-season games in London than any other NFL team and will once again be a central part of the capital's NFL schedule.

Three Games Across Three Weeks

The 2026 London schedule provides three consecutive weeks of NFL action:

October 4

Indianapolis Colts vs Washington Commanders

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

October 11

Philadelphia Eagles vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

October 18

Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars

Wembley Stadium

All three games are scheduled for 2:30 pm UK time, giving supporters a chance to watch live NFL action during the afternoon rather than having to stay awake for the usual late-night American kick-offs.

With games at two of London's biggest sporting venues and the Jaguars appearing twice, October promises to be another significant month for NFL fans in the UK.
