The NFL has officially finalized its international game schedule for the 2026 season, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The league's 2026 slate represents the latest step in its ongoing global expansion strategy.
The announcement confirms that the full lineup of games to be played outside of the United States is now locked in. While specific team matchups and venue dates are typically released in conjunction with the full regular-season schedule, the NFL has been working to solidify its international presence in markets across Europe and the Americas. The 2026 season follows a period of rapid growth for the International Series, which has seen games hosted in London, Munich, and Sao Paulo in recent years.
Under the league's current resolution regarding international play, the NFL has the ability to schedule up to eight games per season internationally. This ensures that fans worldwide have regular access to live regular-season action. Further details regarding specific host cities and participating teams for the 2026 slate are expected to follow shortly from league headquarters.
