Lions will not play in London in 2020

The Lions were likely to play the Jaguars in London in 2020 but the NFL has canceled the international games this year

The NFL will reveal the full 2020 schedule of games later this week, but there is a little less mystery around one of the dates on the Detroit Lions schedule. On Monday, the NFL confirmed the reports that there will be no international games played in 2020.

The Lions were a likely foe for the Jaguars in one of that team’s two dedicated London games. Detroit was one of three Jaguars opponents (along with Cleveland and Miami) poised to make the trip to England over a two-week period when the Jaguars were scheduled to remain across the pond and host games on consecutive weekends. Those games will now be played in Jacksonville.

Detroit last played abroad in 2015.
