London will again host four NFL matches in 2019, with the Houston Texans and the Carolina Panthers making their UK debuts.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, who will be playing a home game in London for a seventh consecutive season, will face their AFC South divisional rival Texans.
There will also be a NFC South divisional match-up between the Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Oakland Raiders will return to London for the second straight year, facing the NFC North division champion Chicago Bears.
The Los Angeles Rams, who will play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 53, will host a London game for the fourth time when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tottenham Hotspur's new 62,000-seater stadium will host two of the four games, with the other two to be played at Wembley Stadium.
It will bring the total number of games played in the UK to 28, while 31 of the 32 NFL teams will have competed in London by the end of 2019 season, with the Green Bay Packers the only exception.
The fifth match of the international series will be played at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium between AFC West rivals Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers.
Both teams, who finished the 2018 regular season with identical 12-4 records, will be playing in Mexico for the first time.
Dates, kick-off times and venues for all the international games will be confirmed in conjunction with the release of the full NFL schedule later this year.
