The NFL announced Tuesday the four games to be held in London during the 2017 season.
- Baltimore Ravens at Jacksonville Jaguars
- New Orleans Saints at Miami Dolphins
- Minnesota Vikings at Cleveland Browns
- Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams
The first two games will be held at Wembley Stadium in Weeks 3 and 4, while the second two will be held at Twickenham Stadium in Weeks 7 and 8.
The game dates of the International Series will be finalized when the 2017 NFL schedule is announced next spring.
"We continue to be incredibly excited by the passion and love for the NFL shown by our millions of UK fans," said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. "London is an amazing city. We have had tremendous support from our fans, from Mayor Khan, and other government leaders and business partners, and we are looking forward to taking the next step in the UK by playing four games in London next season."
The Cardinals, Ravens, and Browns will be making their first trip across the Atlantic.
The NFL will continue to explore other stadiums in London, playing at Twickenham for a second straight season after debuting there this campaign, with the Rams again the hosts.
"London staging a fourth NFL game is fantastic news - not only for the millions of sports fans who get to enjoy our iconic stadiums - but also because it confirms our status as the go-to choice for hosting the world’s biggest sporting events," said the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.
