The NFL has announced a mouthwatering five-game schedule of 2024 International Games, with London, Munich and Sao Paulo playing host to some of the league’s best talent.
A Week 1 clash in Brazil’s capital between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles had already been announced, but now the UK and Germany games have also been made public as preparations for the 2024 season continue.
In the announcement, it was revealed that the New York Jets are heading back to London for a huge regular-season game at the start of October, where they will take on the Minnesota Vikings.
The October 6 clash will mark the Jets’ second time across the Atlantic in three years, but it will be quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ first time in the UK with his new team.
A week later, at the same stadium, the Chicago Bears will play the Jacksonville Jaguars – who will this year play their 12th and 13th games in the English capital.
