In July of 2021, the NFL announced that each of its 32 teams would play at least one International Series game over the course of an eight-year span.
For the New York Giants, their wait will end at the two-year mark.
On Wednesday morning, the hosts at Good Morning Football officially revealed the five-game International Series slate. And as expected, the Giants will visit the Green Bay Packers on October 9 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET.
The Giants also confirmed the news through Eli Manning and Brian Daboll.
Get your passports ready 😏

“It’s always an honor to represent the NFL internationally,” Daboll said, via Giants.com. “We’ve got a lot of work to do between now and then.”
“Our fanbase in the UK has always been extremely loyal and passionate,” Giants Chief Commercial Officer Pete Guelli said. “The organization has had two memorable games in front of the London fans, and we look forward to engaging with them leading up to the game this fall.”
The Giants’ other potential International Series opponent was the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they will host the Denver Broncos at Wembley Stadium instead.
For the Packers, this will be their first-ever International Series game. They are the only team in the NFL that has yet to play overseas (or in Mexico).
The Giants, of course, defeated the Miami Dolphins by a score of 13-10 in the very first International Series game back in 2007. They would return to London in 2016, defeating the Los Angeles Rams, 17-10.
Only the New England Patriots (3-0) have a better record in London than do the Giants.
