The National Football League is set to significantly expand its presence on the global stage in 2025, with the recent announcement of its International Games schedule. The league will take American football to foreign soil for seven regular season contests next season, visiting familiar venues and adding exciting new destinations to its global footprint.

The 2025 international slate includes returning trips to London, England, and Germany, but also welcomes two new cities to the schedule: Dublin, Ireland, and Madrid, Spain. This expansion is part of the NFL's broader strategy to cultivate more fans and generate revenue worldwide.

Here is a breakdown of the confirmed 2025 NFL International Games schedule:

WEEK 1 / SAO PAULO:

TBD vs. Los Angeles ChargersDate: Friday, Sept. 5Start time: 8:15 p.m. ETVenue: Corinthians Arena

The 2025 NFL season opens up on Thursday, Sept. 4 and on Friday, Sept. 5, it's going international. Rumor suggests that the Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Sao Paulo to face their AFC West rivals in opening week.

WEEK 4 / DUBLIN:

Minnesota Vikings vs. Pittsburgh SteelersDate: Sunday, Sept. 28Start time: 9:30 a.m. ETVenue: Croke Park

The NFL is playing a regular-season game in Ireland for the first time. This has a deeper meaning as late Steelers owner Dan M. Rooney served as the United States' ambassador to Ireland from 2009 to 2012.

WEEK 5 / LONDON:

Minnesota Vikings vs. Cleveland BrownsDate: Sunday, Oct. 5Start time: 9:30 a.m. ETVenue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

NFL fans will be intrigued to see Kevin Stefanski face his former team, the Vikings, in Minnesota's second consecutive international game.

WEEK 6 / LONDON:

Denver Broncos vs. New York JetsDate: Sunday, Oct. 12Start time: 9:30 a.m. ETVenue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

New York is no stranger to the international stage, with this being their fourth trip to London. They are 1-2 in the previous three, including a loss in 2024 to the Vikings.

WEEK 7 / LONDON:

Los Angeles Rams vs. Jacksonville JaguarsDate: Sunday, Oct. 19Start time: 9:30 a.m. ETVenue: Wembley Stadium

If London had a home team, it would be the Jaguars. They have essentially made the country their second home and now get to introduce Travis Hunter to an international audience.

WEEK 10 / BERLIN:

Atlanta Falcons vs. Indianapolis ColtsDate: Sunday, Nov. 9Start time: 9:30 a.m. ETVenue: Olympiastadion

If QB Anthony Richardson realizes his potential, The Colts could be a fun team to see. If things go south that could be another story to witness. The Falcons also have an interesting quarterback situation, as both Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins both easily can be regarded as starters remain on the roster.

WEEK 11 / MADRID:

Washington Commanders vs. Miami DolphinsDate: Sunday, Nov. 16Start time: 9:30 a.m. ETVenue: Bernabéu Stadium

The Dolphins get the honor of hosting the NFL's first game in Spain and will get to battle the NFL's rookie of the year, Jayden Daniels. Washington was one win away from reaching the Super Bowl. As for Miami, they'll be trying to get back on track after a disappointing 2024.

The revealed 2025 NFL International schedule showcases a significant commitment to global expansion, bringing seven regular season games featuring a variety of matchups to fans across South America and Europe, including new venues in Ireland and Spain.
