Multiple NFL Teams Avoid International Games in 2025 Season

The NFL announced its 2025 International Series games, confirming that the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, and Cincinnati Bengals will not participate in any overseas contests. The Buffalo Bills avoid international travel for the season, despite speculation they might play the Steelers in Dublin, a matchup given instead to the Minnesota Vikings, who will face the Steelers in Ireland and the Browns in London in back-to-back weeks. The Packers were also considered for the Dublin game but will play the Steelers in Pittsburgh instead, and will not have any international games in 2025. For the Bengals, their only chance to play abroad was a potential matchup against the Dolphins in Madrid, but the Commanders will play that game. Several other teams, including the Chargers, Steelers, Browns, Rams, and Commanders, will participate in the 2025 international slate, with games in Brazil, Ireland, England, and Spain. The complete NFL regular season schedule will be released soon, providing final details on dates and matchups.
