The National Football League announces the schedule for the 2025 International Games that will be played across Europe in Dublin, Ireland, London, U.K., Berlin, Germany and Madrid, Spain — as part of the league’s long-term commitment to global expansion, driving year-round engagement in international markets.
On Sunday, Sept. 28, the Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, in the country’s first-ever regular season NFL game.
The Vikings will then travel to London to play the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the U.S. — on Sunday, Oct. 5, which sees the team play two consecutive international games. This game will also be the 40th regular season game to be played in the capital.
The New York Jets will then take on the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 12, also at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The third and final game in London will feature the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Los Angeles Rams at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 19. This will be the 14th game in the capital for the Jaguars, as part of the team’s multi-year commitment to playing games in the U.K.
For the first time in Berlin, Germany, the Indianapolis Colts will host the Atlanta Falcons at the Olympic Stadium Berlin on Sunday, Nov. 9. The 2025 Berlin game is part of the NFL’s commitment to playing regular season games across Germany and will be the fifth regular season game in the market, with the league having previously played games in Munich and Frankfurt.
The 2025 international slate will culminate in Madrid, Spain on Sunday, Nov.16 with the Miami Dolphins taking on the Washington Commanders at the Bernabéu Stadium, home of Real Madrid C.F., in the league’s first-ever regular season game in Spain.
The Los Angeles Chargers will kick off the 2025 International Games Week 1 of the regular season on Sept. 5 in São Paulo, Brazil at Corinthians Arena. The opponent for this game will be announced on May 14, with the full 2025 NFL schedule release.
“The 2025 NFL season will see seven regular season games played outside of the U.S. — the most ever regular season international games to date, including historic first games in iconic venues in Berlin, Dublin and Madrid,” says NFL Executive Vice President, Club Business, Major Events & International Peter O’Reilly. “The 2025 International Games schedule showcases an exciting selection of matchups featuring major NFL stars, bringing our game directly to fans around the world, and underscores our collective commitment to global growth as we continue our journey to becoming a truly global sport.”
