Jaguars and Commanders to Host NFL London Games in 2026
JACKSONVILLE, Florida — The Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Commanders will be the host teams for three NFL games in London in 2026, the league announced Wednesday morning.
The Jaguars, who have played in London annually since 2013, with the exception of 2020, will play two home games in London for the first time – one at Wembley Stadium and another at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Commanders will play their home game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Opponents and dates will be announced later, though the Jaguars are expected to play back-to-back weeks in October. The three London games are part of a record nine international games in seven countries in 2026.
“The NFL London games bring fans together from across the UK and beyond and play a key role in engaging our existing fans as well as creating new audiences and driving NFL fandom in this market,” said NFL UK & Ireland general manager Henry Hodgson.
This will be the 15th time the Jaguars have played in London, with all but three games at Wembley Stadium. They have a record of 7-7, including a 2-1 record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This will be the third international game for the Commanders, who lost to Miami in Madrid in 2025 and tied the Cincinnati Bengals at Wembley Stadium in 2016.
“Last season was my first experience in London as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars and my immediate takeaway was London is undoubtedly our home away from home,” said head coach Liam Coen. “We have a passionate and knowledgeable fanbase in London, built over time and continuing to grow, and we are making a positive impact on fans throughout the UK. It’s something our organization, starting with our owners, has worked hard at and is proud to continue to develop each season.”
“With two games in London in 2026, it will be fun for our fans in London, as well as all those from Jacksonville who travel. I definitely look forward to it and know our players are happy to return.”
The Jaguars have an agreement with the NFL since 2023 that allows them to play one annual home game at Wembley Stadium, with a capacity of 90,000, where they have full responsibility for the game and oversee all operations.
This will be the third time the Jaguars have played multiple games in London. The team also played two in 2023 and 2024, one as the home team at Wembley Stadium and one as a visiting team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Jaguars’ new stadium agreement and 30-year lease with the city included a clause allowing the team to play up to six international home games between 2025 and 2027, with a maximum of three in 2027, when the Jaguars will play all their home games outside of EverBank Stadium while a $1.4 billion renovation is underway.
That renovation, which began in early 2025, will limit the capacity of EverBank Stadium to 42,507 people in 2026. The team will announce where they will play their home games in 2027 – predictably in Orlando – as soon as the NFL approves the plan, which could occur during the league’s annual meeting in March in Phoenix.
The NFL announced Tuesday that Detroit will play a home game at the FC Bayern Munich Stadium in Germany. Games will also be played in Madrid, Paris, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Melbourne.
