Roger Goodell Addresses NFL's 'Possible' Addition of London Expansion Franchise

The NFL has never had a more substantial foothold on the international stage as it does right now. The league now plays multiple games in London each year, with a pair of games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Vikings–Browns, Broncos–Jets) and a third game at Wembley Stadium (Rams–Jaguars) slated for October. The second game of the entire NFL season, the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Chiefs, was contested in São Paulo, Brazil. The Steelers and Vikings will face off at historic Croke Park in Dublin on Sunday, while November will feature games in Berlin (Falcons–Colts) and Madrid (Commanders–Dolphins).

The league is clearly not slowing down when it comes to spreading the game abroad, diving further into Europe and South American markets each year. But what about the long-rumored addition of a full-time franchise in London? Those discussions have quieted a bit as the league opts to send more of its regular season game stock overseas, but commissioner Roger Goodell is not ruling out the possibility down the line.
