NFL Approves Eight International Games Annually

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced plans to expand the league's international footprint by hosting up to eight games abroad by 2025, including potential matches in Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, England, and possibly Ireland, with Dublin highlighted as a likely venue. Goodell emphasized ongoing commitments to current host countries, including the U.K., Germany, and Brazil, and expressed enthusiasm for Spain's debut at Real Madrid's Bernabéu Stadium. NFL owners have approved hosting eight international games annually, with a longer-term goal of increasing this to 16 games. The league's strategy aims to enhance global engagement with American football and follows successful games hosted internationally this season. The final match of the current international series will see the New York Giants face the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany.
