Jaguars to play in London once again in 2022

Jacksonville will take the trip across the Atlantic once again in 2022, though its opponent has not been announced.

As was expected but not officially confirmed until Monday, the Jaguars will indeed hop across the pond once again this coming season for a matchup at Wembley Stadium in London.

Last year, the Jags took on the Miami Dolphins at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (also in London). That game proved to be Jacksonville’s first win of the season and ended a losing streak that was nearly the longest in league history.

The opponent is yet to be determined. The Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints will also each play a home game in London, with those contests to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This will be the Jaguars’ ninth game in London in franchise history. Owner Shad Khan, who also owns Fulham F.C. in London, signed an agreement with the English Football Association in 2012 to play games across the Atlantic for the next four seasons. That agreement was extended to 2020, though no one played in London that season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

No new contract is in place, so for now, whether Jacksonville plays in London will be determined on a year-to-year basis. However, with games being scheduled there in 2021 and 2022, it seems that the team has no intention of ceasing its yearly contest in England.
