Since 2007, the NFL has hosted regular-season games in London as part of its ongoing attempts to build a large international fan base. This year, the NFL is upping the ante by allocating three games to the UK capital city, as opposed to the usual two games.
The NFL has chosen to give the British people what they want: more NFL football, after drawing over 121,000 spectators throughout two London games staged in Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium in 2021.
The NFL’s annual International Series kicks off this year with the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints traveling to London for the first of three highly anticipated NFL London games.

What teams are playing in the NFL London games this year?
The Minnesota Vikings face the New Orleans Saints in the first game of the 2022 NFL London series.
The Green Bay Packers will face the New York Giants in the second weekend of NFL London action.
Depending on the outcome of both the Packers’ and Giants’ Week 4 results, this particular game could see the first NFL London matchup between two teams with a winning record — a feat that we have yet to see in 31 total NFL London games (including the 2022 Week 4 matchup between the 1-2 Saints and 2-1 Vikings) that have been played to date.
The Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Denver Broncos in the third and final NFL London game in 2022. The Jaguars are the unofficial NFL team of London, having played a regular season game in the city every year since 2013, with the exception of 2020, for obvious reasons. Meanwhile, this will be the Denver Broncos’ first visit to the United Kingdom since 2010.
