In 2022, the Jaguars, Denver Broncos, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, and Arizona Cardinals played overseas.

Unlike the 2022 season, where the league played games in London, Munich, and Mexico City, the 2023 international series will only be played in England and Germany.

The Titans, Bills, and Jaguars will play in London.

“London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the US — will once again host two international games, with the Bills and Titans heading to the capital,” the NFL shared in a statement. “The Jaguars will return to their home away from home, Wembley Stadium, as part of their multi-year commitment to playing in the UK.”

The Patriots and Chiefs will face off in Germany.

Chiefs’ HC Andy Reid, asked today for his thoughts on playing a game next season in Germany: “I look forward to getting a bratwurst.”

“The 2023 season will also see the Chiefs and Patriots both play regular season games in Germany, with destination cities to be announced later this year. The NFL previously confirmed that Munich and Frankfurt will stage games in Germany over the next four years,” the league continued. “The Chiefs and Patriots are part of the NFL’s International Home Marketing Area (IHMA) program, which sees teams secure international marketing rights in countries beyond the US, with both sides having been awarded rights in Germany.”

Following the league’s announcement, each team shared their excitement on social media.
