NFL announces full slate of 2026 international games
There will be nine games outside of the United States this season.
All of the international matchups for the 2026 NFL season were announced on Wednesday morning. We already knew the first two games on the schedule. The 49ers and Rams will meet in the NFL's first-ever game in Melbourne, Australia in Week 1 while the Ravens and Cowboys will head to Brazil to play a game in Rio in Week 3.
There will be three straight weeks of games in London kicking off the next week. The Colts will face the Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 4 and the Eagles and Jaguars will square off in the same place the next week. The Jaguars will stay in London to take on the Texans at Wembley Stadium in Week 6.
From there, it will be on to Paris for the first time in league history. The Steelers will battle the Saints at Stade de France in Week 7. The Bengals-Falcons matchup in Madrid in Week 9 was announced earlier this week and it will be followed by a Patriots-Lions clash at Allianz Arena in Munich the next weekend.
The NFL's return to Mexico City will come in Week 11 when the Vikings and the 49ers square off on Sunday Night Football. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has talked about his desire to see the league play international games each week and the NFL is moving closer to that goal in 2026.
