After playing overseas in London in 2023, the Tennessee Titans have a chance to play yet another international game in 2024.
The league announced on Thursday that four teams will host an international game next season, a list that includes the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers.
There is also slated to be a contest in São Paulo, Brazil, for the first time in 2024 but the home team for that game has yet to be announced.
The Titans enter the conversation here due to the fact that both the Jags and Bears are both road games on their schedule. Thus, Tennessee has a shot to play overseas, although I’m skeptical that the league would schedule them international games two years in a row.
Jacksonville’s international game will take place at Wembley Stadium in London, while Chicago’s is also in London but in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In December, league owners voted to increase the total of international games to up to eight starting in 2025.
The Titans didn’t fare well in London in 2023, where they lost to the Baltimore Ravens, 24-16, in Week 6.
That was also the game that paved the way for the Will Levis era after quarterback Ryan Tannehill injured his ankle in the losing effort.
We’ll find out for sure if the Titans will play overseas when the full NFL schedule gets released in May.
