What are the NFL international games in 2026?
Nine of them, in seven countries, on four continents, announced by the NFL on 13 May 2026. Six are in Europe: London on 4, 11 and 18 October, Paris on 25 October, Madrid on 8 November and Munich on 15 November. The remaining three are in Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City.
Three of the nine are debut cities. Paris, Melbourne and Rio de Janeiro host their first NFL regular-season games this year, while London, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City are return fixtures.
Where each European game is played
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosts the 4 October and 11 October London games. Stade de France in Saint-Denis takes the Paris fixture on 25 October, the first NFL regular-season game held in France. The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium hosts Madrid on 8 November, and the Allianz Arena hosts Munich on 15 November.
The third London game, on 18 October, is played at another venue in the capital.
Who these fixtures suit as a corporate day
The London games are the practical choice for a UK client group: a Sunday afternoon kick-off, no flights, and a venue most guests can reach on public transport. That makes them the easiest to build a full day around without asking anyone to take leave.
The overseas legs work differently. Paris is a single night away for most UK cities. Madrid and Munich are weekend trips, with a Sunday afternoon kick-off that pushes the return into Sunday evening or Monday morning. Group size, travel appetite and how far ahead people can commit tend to decide the city long before the matchup does.
Planning dates and what to watch
The full 2026 international schedule has been public since 13 May 2026, so dates and kick-off times are settled and can be planned against with confidence.
One diary note for the Paris weekend: UK and EU clocks go back on the morning of Sunday 25 October 2026, so the 2:30pm CET kick-off is 1:30pm UK time and every outbound and return connection moves with it.
After 15 November 2026 the European run is over for the season, so anything built around these six fixtures belongs in the diary well before then.
About NFL International Series Hospitality
The NFL plays nine regular-season games outside the United States in 2026, and six of them are in Europe. The NFL's schedule announcement on 13 May 2026 set out a slate covering four continents, seven countries and eight stadiums: London hosts three games, with Paris, Madrid and Munich taking one each, and Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City completing the nine. Ireland is not on the 2026 list, which is the most common misreading of the schedule after Dublin's turn in 2025.
Which NFL international games are in Europe in 2026?
Six games, spread over six weekends. London has three, on 4, 11 and 18 October. Paris follows on 25 October at Stade de France, Madrid on 8 November at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, and Munich on 15 November at the Allianz Arena. Every date and kick-off time here comes from the NFL's schedule announcement of 13 May 2026.
Is there an NFL game in Ireland in 2026?
No. Ireland does not appear on the 2026 international schedule. The seven host countries named in the NFL's announcement of 13 May 2026 are Australia, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany and Mexico. Dublin hosted in 2025, which is why the question persists. For anyone travelling from Ireland, the three London fixtures in October are the closest games of the season.
What is new about the 2026 international schedule?
Paris, Melbourne and Rio de Janeiro stage their first NFL regular-season games in 2026, while London, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City host return fixtures. Both facts come from the NFL's announcement of 13 May 2026. For a UK buyer the practical change is choice: four European cities in six weeks rather than the two of recent seasons.
Which European fixture suits a UK group best?
London is the only leg that works as a day out with no flights. Paris on 25 October is the easiest overseas trip, and the one that needs the most care: the clocks go back across the UK and the EU that morning, so a 2:30pm CET kick-off is 1:30pm UK time and every return connection shifts with it. Madrid on 8 November and Munich on 15 November both sit better as a weekend than a day. The fixture-by-fixture comparison, including UK kick-off times side by side, is in our NFL international games 2026 Europe travel and hospitality guide.
How do the London games fit into the series?
London is the only European city with more than one game in 2026. The detail that matters for anyone choosing between them is that the Jacksonville Jaguars are the designated home team for two of the three, on 11 and 18 October, in successive weeks. That is drawn from the NFL's schedule announcement of 13 May 2026. Full London coverage sits on our NFL London Games hospitality page.
Where can I read about each European fixture?
Each has its own page: Paris on 25 October, Madrid on 8 November and Munich on 15 November, with the two Tottenham Hotspur Stadium fixtures at Colts against Commanders on 4 October and Eagles against Jaguars on 11 October.

Frequently Asked Questions About NFL International Series Hospitality

Nine, across four continents, seven countries and eight stadiums. Six are European: three in London during October, Paris on 25 October, Madrid on 8 November and Munich on 15 November. Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City host the other three. The NFL published the full slate on 13 May 2026.
It is not. Ireland does not appear among the seven host countries on the 2026 schedule, which are Australia, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany and Mexico. Dublin hosted during the 2025 season, and that is the source of most of the confusion. October’s three London fixtures are the nearest games to Ireland this year.
Paris, Melbourne and Rio de Janeiro all stage their first NFL regular-season games in 2026. London, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City are returning hosts. The Paris fixture on 25 October at Stade de France is therefore the first NFL regular-season game played in France, per the NFL's announcement of 13 May 2026.
The three London fixtures kick off at 2:30pm BST. Paris is 2:30pm CET on 25 October, which is 1:30pm UK time because the clocks go back that morning. Madrid and Munich are both 3:30pm CET, which is 2:30pm UK time in November.
London, without qualification: three of the six games are there, on Sunday afternoons, with no flights involved. After that Paris is the shortest hop and the only one that realistically works as a single night away. Madrid and Munich are better treated as weekends because of the 3:30pm local kick-off and Sunday evening returns.
They do. Every fixture in the International Series is a regular-season game and counts in the standings exactly as a home game in the United States would. Each has a designated home team, which is why the Jacksonville Jaguars appear as home team twice in London in October 2026.
Because UK and EU clocks both go back on the morning of Sunday 25 October 2026, the day of the game. The local start stays at 2:30pm CET while the UK equivalent becomes 1:30pm. It catches out anyone carrying the 2:30pm assumption across from the London fixtures a week either side.
London three, and Paris, Madrid and Munich one each. London is the only European city with more than one fixture in 2026, and its three fall on consecutive Sundays in October.
On Sunday 15 November 2026 in Munich, six weeks after the opening London fixture on 4 October. The remaining international games that season are played outside Europe.
