The NFL today announced the four games that will take place in London next season, the first time the league will play four games – half of a home schedule of regular-season games – in the UK capital.
The 2017 London games:
| Week | Date | Visiting Team | Home Team | Site |
| 3 or 4 | 9/24/17 or 10/1/17 | Baltimore Ravens | Jacksonville Jaguars | Wembley Stadium |
| 3 or 4 | 9/24/17 or 10/1/17 | New Orleans Saints | Miami Dolphins | Wembley Stadium |
| 7 or 8 | 10/22/17 or 10/29/17 | Minnesota Vikings | Cleveland Browns | Twickenham Stadium |
| 7 or 8 | 10/22/17 or 10/29/17 | Arizona Cardinals | Los Angeles Rams | Twickenham Stadium |
The London schedule will feature consecutive games in Weeks 3 and 4 at Wembley Stadium – the home of English soccer – and Weeks 7 and 8 at Twickenham Stadium, the home of English rugby. The game times and dates will be finalized in conjunction with the revealing of the full 2017 NFL schedule next spring.
Three teams will play their first regular-season games in London in 2017 – the Arizona Cardinals, the visiting team against their NFC West rivals, the Los Angeles Rams at Twickenham in Week 7 or 8; the Baltimore Ravens, the visiting team against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley in Week 3 or 4; and the Cleveland Browns, the home team against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7 or 8 at Twickenham.
The Miami Dolphins will play their fourth regular-season game in London, this time against the New Orleans Saints, who make their second appearance in a regular-season game in the UK. The Jaguars will play a home game in London for the fifth consecutive season.
“We are looking forward to a London season that will feature many firsts, including three new teams,” said ALISTAIR KIRKWOOD, Managing Director of NFL UK. “Our fans have the chance to watch star players such as Baltimore’s Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Joe Flacco, and one of the greatest-ever wide receivers in Larry Fitzgerald of the Cardinals. Having one of the most famous fan groups in the NFL, Cleveland’s Dawg Pound, sharing Twickenham with our UK fans is going to be a lot of fun, and we are excited to be welcoming home a Londoner, Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi, when his team plays at Wembley.”
JIM FRAYLING, Head of Business Development, Wembley Stadium, commented: “Wembley Stadium has been a home away from home for the NFL for a decade, and we are delighted to host these two huge fixtures in what will be the tenth anniversary year of the new stadium. We look forward to welcoming the four world-class teams to our world-class venue in 2017.”
RFU Chief Executive IAN RITCHIE said: “Hosting the NFL at Twickenham for the first time this year was a huge success and provided us with a great opportunity to showcase the stadium as the adaptable and world-class venue that it is. We are very much looking forward to welcoming the NFL and its new and returning fans back to Twickenham in 2017.”
At the conclusion of the 2017 season, 26 teams will have played in London since the inception of the London Games Series in 2007. Since that time, the NFL has achieved accelerated growth in the UK. Sunday viewership of NFL games has more than doubled and the Super Bowl audience has increased more than 75 percent. This season, the NFL is on pace to reach a record number of unique TV viewers in the UK. The league also has developed new and stronger business partnerships and, according to internal research, has a UK fan base of more than 13 million, including close to four million avid fans.
Participation in amateur football in the UK has risen by approximately 15 percent per year since 2007, with the latest figures from Sport England showing that 40,000 people age 14 or older play regularly. American football is now an officially recognized sport in UK universities and schools.
