The NFL and Tottenham have announced an expansion of their partnership through the 2029-2030 NFL season.
As part of the agreement, a minimum of two games per season will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which has been given the designation of the “Home of the NFL in the UK.”
“NFL gamedays at our stadium are special occasions where we see fans from around the world descend on Tottenham, bringing so much vibrancy to the High Road and supporting our local economy,” said Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy in a statement. “As the NFL continues to grow its fanbase throughout Europe, we are extremely proud to be given official status as the Home of the NFL in the UK.”
Twelve of the NFL’s 32 teams have already played at the stadium, with two more games scheduled for the 2023 season.
The NFL played its first regular-season game in London in 2007, when the New York Giants faced the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosted its first game in 2019, the year it opened.
“Growing the game globally is a major strategic priority for the league,” said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. “Our commitment to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will allow us to continue to bring extraordinary NFL experiences to fans in London, while creating a positive social and economic impact on the local community.”
As part of its International Series, the NFL has also played five games in Mexico City, and will play two games in Frankfurt, Germany in the 2023 season.
