Friday 29 August 2025 09:44, UK
The New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars have been confirmed as the designated home teams for the 2025 NFL London games.
The Jets will play in the UK for the second successive year and for the fourth time overall after suffering a 23-17 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last October.
Cleveland return for their second London game in franchise history after losing 33-16 to the Vikings at Twickenham back in 2017, while the Jags will visit the capital for a league-leading 14th time after playing back-to-back games overseas for two years running.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will feature games with the Jets and Browns, while Jacksonville are back at Wembley for the 10th time.
"We look forward to welcoming the Jets, Browns and Jaguars to London as part of the 2025 NFL International Games," said NFL UK & Ireland General Manager Henry Hodgson.
"This season will see us surpass 40 regular season games in the capital, a testament to the role the UK has played in growing the game globally. The London games are a continued catalyst for year-round fan engagement and we are focused on serving our 15m fans, reaching new communities and driving growth in flag football participation, which now sees over 100,000 young people play the game."

It remains to be seen how the Jets will shape up heading into the 2025 season amid question marks over the future of four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose hopes of steering the franchise to Super Bowl contention saw him suffer a season-ending Achilles injury four plays into his debut in 2023 before enduring another gruelling campaign on the way to a 5-12 finish in 2024.
The Jets are also set to arrive with a new head coach after Robert Saleh was fired following October's loss to the Vikings in London. The team is currently riding the longest active postseason drought in the NFL after failing to reach the playoffs for a 14th consecutive year, though does boast a star-studded receiving core led by Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, alongside star running back Breece Hall.
"We are excited to bring the unique and entertaining atmosphere of a New York Jets home game to London as part of the 2025 NFL International Games," said New York Jets president Hymie Elhai.
"It is another great opportunity for our organization to build upon our brand and fandom in the UK which we have enjoyed cultivating the last few years. The success of the NFL's international games speaks directly to the sport's increasing global reach, and we are proud to continue as ambassadors of the game."
Jacksonville will again be led by former No 1 pick quarterback Trevor Lawrence, whose 2024 campaign was disrupted by a shoulder injury and a concussion, but will be guided by a new head coach having parted ways with Doug Pederson in the wake of a 4-13 record this season. Jags first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr has emerged as one of the league's most gifted young wide receivers, while former first overall selection Travon Walker is coming off back-to-back seasons of 10-plus sacks.
"We are once again delighted that we will be back in London later this year for our 14th game in the capital and are grateful for our extended partnership with the Football Association that makes it possible to play another home game at Wembley Stadium, one of the world's most iconic stadiums and the Jaguars' home away from home," said Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan.
"The game is the pinnacle of the amazing work we do every day at a grassroots level and I'm proud that our JagTag flag football program reached over 100,000 young people in 2024, helping to grow the sport of American football outside the US."
Myles Garrett looms as the chief attraction for the Browns as a perennial Defensive Player of the Year contender having managed 102.5 sacks since entering the league as the No 1 pick in 2017, second only to TJ Watt's 108 in that time.
Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy just enjoyed a career year with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns despite Cleveland's uncertainty at quarterback behind Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston, while Nick Chubb remains one of the league's most popular players at running back after making his return from a long-term knee injury earlier this year.
Cleveland could touch down with a new face at quarterback having secured the No 2 overall pick at the 2025 NFL Draft after their 3-14 finish to the year.
"We're thrilled to be named a designated team for the 2025 NFL London Games, making our second international trip as a club and our first time playing at the incredible Tottenham Hotspur Stadium," said Haslam Sports Group COO David Jenkins. "We look forward to playing in front of our fans in the UK this upcoming season and to help continue to grow both the Browns and the NFL's global popularity."
The NFL has now staged 39 regular season games in the UK since the first between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants in 2007, with October's match between the Jaguars and New England Patriots drawing a record London attendance of 86,651 at Wembley Stadium.
This year's game will mark the 27th to be played at Wembley, while Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will welcome its 11th and 12th contests as the official 'home of the NFL' in the UK amid the current deal that will see two regular-season games played at Tottenham each year through the 2029-30 season.
The NFL's growth overseas reached new heights in 2024 as the league held its first regular-season game in Brazil when the Philadelphia Eagles overcame the Green Bay Packers at Sao Paulo's Arena Corinthians in the opening week of the campaign.
Besides three games in London, this year's calendar will also feature a maiden regular-season game in Spain, hosted at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The league will also play in Germany for the fourth year in a row, this time heading to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin having played two games in both Frankfurt and Munich across the last three seasons.
