London to host four NFL regular-season games in 2017
London will host four regular-season NFL games in 2017, an increase the league announced Friday after it staged three games in the U.K. capital in each of the last two seasons. All were sellouts.
“We continue to be incredibly excited by the passion and love for the NFL shown by our millions of UK fans,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in a news release.
“London is an amazing city. We have had tremendous support from our fans, from Mayor Khan and other government leaders and business partners, and we are looking forward to taking the next step in the UK by playing four games in London next season.”
The NFL will reveal Tuesday which teams and venues will be involved in next year's international games.
Along with three games in London this year, the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans played in Mexico City on Nov. 21, the league's first regular-season game south of the border since 2005.
