Leading up to the release of the complete 2026 NFL schedule, the league has announced the slate of International Games, which includes a record nine contests that will be played across four continents and seven countries.
The 2026 season will feature three International Series matchups in London, England, and one matchup each in Madrid (Spain), Melbourne (Australia), Mexico City (Mexico), Munich (Germany), Paris (France), and Rio De Janeiro, Brazil).
In the first game of the 2026 International Series, the Los Angeles Rams will host the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, September 10, 2026 (Week 1) in Melbourne, Australia. The 49ers-Rams contest will be streamed live by Netflix and will also be available to view over-the-air (OTA) in the local markets of the two teams.
The first-ever regular-season NFL game in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, is slated for Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026, and it will feature the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Baltimore Ravens. The game will kickoff at 4:25pm ET and it will air via CBS and Paramount+.

I am enthusiastic about Eagles playing in London again vs Jaguars.
Should be a fantastic interconference game along with Bears-Bills & 49ers-Chargers which those will be on American soil.
Almost to 16 so everyone can get 1 international game.
NEVER HAPPENING
Christian:
Don’t know why you’re so sure it will never happen. 16 international games is what Goodell is aiming for in the long run.
Jags are “hosting” the Eagles in London eight years after “hosting” them there. Eagles haven’t played in North Florida since 2010, and now won’t until 2034 barring a change in the scheduling formula. That should not happen.
I wasn’t aware of some massive rivalry between the Eagles and Jags, Gerry. And it’s not like Jacksonville and the rest of N FL exists on some island in the middle of the Pacific. If some person in N FL REALLY wants to watch the Eagles, they could just catch an Eagles game in Tampa (or Atlanta).
I don’t want to see any more International Games in the NFL. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the NFL expands to 16 International games Christian. Look at the decisions that the league has been making as of late.
I didn’t say there was a “rivalry” there Richard. However, the Eagles are one of the 5-6 highest profile teams in the league. Season ticket holders for the Jags should not potentially go their entire lives without seeing them come through the Gator Bowl or whatever the name of the stadium will be. It is an easy fix. Outsource one of the other seven games to London. Not a big deal, just an easy fix. And asking a Jags fan to travel five hours away at their expense to watch the Eagles play another team is silly. Why so defensive of the money hungry billionaires?
Gerry:
It’s because I ultimately don’t care about the NFL because at its core, its just a cartel that jerryrigs everything to maximize profit for its billionaire owners.
So it’s hard for me to feel sympathy for folks who decide to pay good money to have their emotions jerked around by the whims of those billionaire owners or folks who complain about that. I mean, you signed up for that!
Goodell is a horrible person who should not be the leader of the NFL. Anyone else agree?
I agree with you. It’s the 32 franchise owners who get to make that decision at the end of the day however.
Also, did you see the article earlier today that the NFL will be expanding to 10 International games next season? Don’t get me wrong, I think that’s really dumb.
