Many will wish to see the NFL games being played abroad and especially London fans. Well, their dream may come true as in a short distance future, each NFL team will have a chance to participate in abroad match in a season.

The NFL claimed that it has been accorded the privilege of staging three NFL games in three years as from next year at the London’s Twickenham Stadium. This is the main English rugby union for men stadium. This marks an initial beginning with more matches expected to be staged in the stadium in coming years.

This comes barely two week after NFL claimed that it had acquired a deal that would see two matches being played in Wembley Stadium up to 2020. This is however expected to accrue another five years in the deal.

This means that about 31% of the NFL will be played abroad with a game played at the Twickenham in 2018. Jacksonville Jaguars who are owned by Shahid Khan who also owns Championship side Fulham will see their games being played in London up to 2020.

The aspect of expanding the NFL game is not done yet as next year the league will stage a game in Mexico City.

Roger Goodell also claimed that there is a possibility that a game will be staged in Germany which was considered the first priority market for the league.
