What American Fans Need to Know
The Venues
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosts two of the three games and is purpose-built with NFL in mind. It features the world’s first dividing, retractable football pitch with a synthetic turf field underneath specifically for NFL games. The stadium opened in 2019 and has dedicated NFL-sized locker rooms, making it the most NFL-ready venue outside North America.
Wembley Stadium, England’s national stadium, has been hosting NFL games since 2007 and remains the spiritual home of American football in the UK. With a capacity of 90,000, it provides an electric atmosphere that rivals any stadium stateside.
Travel Planning for US Fans
London is five hours ahead of the East Coast and eight hours ahead of the West Coast during October. Direct flights from major US cities to London typically take:
- From New York: 7-8 hours
- From Los Angeles: 10-11 hours
- From Denver: 9-10 hours
- From Minneapolis: 8-9 hours
- From Cleveland: 8 hours
- From Jacksonville: 9 hours
Book accommodations early, as London hotels fill up quickly during NFL weekends. Areas near King’s Cross and Liverpool Street offer good transport links to both venues.
Watching from the States
For fans watching from home, these 9:30 AM ET kickoffs (6:30 AM PT) mean breakfast football. The games will be broadcast on NFL Network and available through NFL Game Pass International. Check your local listings as some games may also appear on CBS or Fox depending on your market.
The Bigger Picture
These three games bring the total number of NFL regular-season matches played in London to 42 since the international series began in 2007. The record for most London games in a single season was four in 2019.
London remains the NFL’s most successful international market, with games consistently selling out within hours of tickets going on sale. No other English city has hosted regular-season NFL games, cementing London’s status as the league’s European hub.
Other International Games in 2025
Before London takes center stage, the NFL’s international slate kicks off with:
- September 25: Vikings vs. Steelers in Dublin (first-ever game in Ireland)
- September: One game each in São Paulo and Berlin
- November: Commanders vs. Dolphins in Madrid (Spain’s first NFL game)
Looking ahead, Melbourne, Australia is scheduled to host its first NFL game in 2026 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.

- Currency: Bring pounds sterling or cards without foreign transaction fees
- Transportation: The London Underground (Tube) is the easiest way to reach both stadiums

Whether you’re making the transatlantic journey or setting your alarm for an early morning kickoff, the 2025 London Games promise to deliver prime-time entertainment at breakfast-time hours for American audiences. The NFL’s British expedition continues to grow, bringing American football to new audiences while giving US fans unique opportunities to see their teams in one of the world’s greatest cities.
