About
The Indianapolis Colts play the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 4 October 2026, kicking off at 2:30pm BST, with the Commanders designated as the home team. It is the first of three NFL fixtures in London this October and the opening game of a six-match European run that ends in Munich on 15 November. The fixture, venue and kick-off time come from the NFL's schedule announcement of 13 May 2026.
What time is the Colts against Commanders game in London?
Kick-off is 2:30pm BST on Sunday 4 October 2026. A mid-afternoon Sunday start makes this a full afternoon rather than an evening: guests can be in place long before the teams appear, and the final whistle lands early enough that anyone travelling out of London can do so the same evening without rushing.
Where is the game played?
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London, a venue with a retractable pitch built to switch between association football and American football. The route in is rail rather than road, and the station detail sits on our Tottenham Hotspur Stadium page.
Who is the home team, and does it matter?
The Washington Commanders. The designation means the game counts as one of their home games for the season and the matchday carries their branding and identity, regardless of where the club is based. It matters for guests mainly in atmosphere and presentation: the crowd, the colours and the pre-game production all follow the home side.
Why this is the easiest London fixture to get into a diary
It is the earliest. London hosts games on 4, 11 and 18 October 2026, on consecutive Sundays, and the first of the run competes with the least. If a group needs a date agreed rather than a matchup argued over, this is the one that gets accepted. The others are compared against it in which NFL London game to take clients to in 2026.
How does this fixture fit the wider 2026 season?
It opens a European run of six games in four cities: three in London, then Paris on 25 October, Madrid on 8 November and Munich on 15 November. Those six are part of nine international games worldwide announced by the NFL on 13 May 2026. All three London fixtures sit together on our NFL London Games page, and the full European comparison is in our 2026 Europe travel and hospitality guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sunday 4 October 2026 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, kicking off at 2:30pm BST. It is the first of three NFL games in London during October 2026, per the NFL's schedule announcement of 13 May 2026.
The Washington Commanders. That makes it one of their home games for the season and means the matchday presentation, branding and colours follow them rather than the Colts.
By rail. There is no public parking at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and road closures operate on event days, so guests travel by train and Underground. The station detail is on our Tottenham Hotspur Stadium page.
An afternoon that runs long. A 2:30pm kick-off means arrival from around midday, with the game finishing in the early evening, so guests travelling back out of London can still make the same night.
Choose this one when the date matters more than the matchup. It is the first Sunday of the three, so it clashes with least, and there are two further London fixtures on 11 and 18 October if it has to move. Our comparison of the fixtures sets out the trade-offs.
