The New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars have been confirmed as the selected home teams for NFL London 2025 games.
The Jets will play in the UK for the second consecutive year and fourth time overall after losing to the Minnesota Vikings 23-17 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last October.
Cleveland return for their second game in London in franchise history after losing 33-16 to the Vikings at Twickenham in 2017, while the Jags will visit the capital for the 14th time in the league after playing back-to-back games abroad for two years running .
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host games with the Jets and Browns, while Jacksonville returns to Wembley for the 10th time.
“We look forward to welcoming the Jets, Browns and Jaguars to London as part of the 2025 NFL International Games,” said NFL UK & Ireland CEO Henry Hodgson.
“This season we will surpass 40 regular season games in the capital, a testament to the role the UK has played in growing the game globally. The Games in London are a continuing catalyst for fan engagement throughout the year and we are focused on serving our 15 million fans, reaching new communities and driving growth in football participation, which now sees over 100,000 young people playing the game.”
It remains to be seen how the Jets will shape up for the 2025 season amid question marks over the future of four-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose hopes of steering the franchise into Super Bowl contention led to him suffering a season-ending Achilles injury. four games in his debut in 2023 before enduring another tough campaign en route to going 5-12 in 2024.
The Jets should also arrive with a new head coach after Robert Saleh was fired following October's loss to the Vikings in London. The team is currently on the longest active postseason drought in the NFL after missing the playoffs for the 14th straight year, despite boasting a stellar receiving core led by Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, along with star running back Breece Hall.
“We are excited to bring the unique and fun atmosphere of a New York Jets home game to London as part of the 2025 NFL International Games,” said New York Jets President Hymie Elhai.
“This is another great opportunity for our organization to build on our brand and fandom in the UK that we have enjoyed nurturing over the past few years. The success of the NFL's international games speaks directly to the ever-increasing global reach of the sport and we are proud to have you continue as ambassadors games.”
Jacksonville will once again be led by former No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence, whose 2024 campaign was cut short by a shoulder injury and concussion, but will be led by a new head coach who parted ways with Doug Pederson after going 4-13. record this season. Jags first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr. has emerged as one of the league's most gifted young wide receivers, while former first-overall pick Travon Walker is coming off back-to-back 10-plus sack seasons.
“Once again we are delighted to return to London later this year for our 14th game in the capital and are grateful for our extended partnership with the Football Association which allows us to play another home game at Wembley Stadium, one of the most iconic stadiums in the to the world and the Jaguars' home away from home,” said Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan.
“The game is the culmination of the incredible work we do every day at the grassroots level, and I'm proud that our JagTag soccer program will reach over 100,000 young people in 2024, helping to grow American soccer beyond the US.”
Myles Garrett looms as the main attraction for the Browns as a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate who has managed 102.5 sacks since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2017, second only to TJ Watt's 108 over that span.
Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy just enjoyed a career year with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns despite Cleveland's uncertainty at quarterback behind Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston, while Nick Chubb remains one of the league's most popular running backs after returning from a long-term knee injury earlier this year.
Cleveland could land a new face at quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after going 3-14 this year.
“We are delighted to have been selected as a team for the 2025 NFL Games in London, our second international trip as a club and the first time we have played at Tottenham Hotspur's incredible stadium,” said Haslam Sports Group CEO David Jenkins. “We look forward to playing in front of our fans in the UK this coming season and helping to continue the growth of both the Browns and the NFL's global popularity.”
The NFL has played 39 regular season games in the UK since the first between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants in 2007, and October's match between the Jaguars and the New England Patriots drew a London record attendance of 86,651 at Wembley Stadium.
This year's game will be the 27th to be played at Wembley, while Tottenham Hotspur's stadium will welcome its 11th and 12th contests as the official 'home of the NFL' in the UK amid a current deal that will see two regular season games played at Tottenham each year during the 2029-30 season.
The NFL's growth overseas reached new heights in 2024 when the league held its first regular season game in Brazil as the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers at the Sao Paulo Arena Corinthians in the opening week of the campaign.
In addition to the three games in London, this year's calendar will also include the first game of the regular season in Spain, which will be hosted at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
