The NFL has officially released the full list of matchups for its nine international games during the 2026 season, according to @AdamSchefter. This announcement marks the most ambitious international schedule in league history, as the NFL continues its aggressive push to reach fans outside of North America.
According to the report, the slate features games across several iconic global cities. While the specific dates and kickoff times are expected to be finalized alongside the full league schedule release, the matchups themselves are now confirmed. This expansion follows the league's recent decision to increase the inventory of international games to better serve its growing global audience and explore new markets.
Fans can expect games to take place in familiar territories such as London and Germany, alongside a highly anticipated return to Mexico City and the inaugural fixture in Madrid, Spain. The NFL's commitment to international growth has been a focal point for Commissioner Roger Goodell, and the 2026 schedule represents a significant milestone in that strategy, bringing the total number of regular-season games played abroad to a record high.
