NFL Goes Global in 2026: Games in Australia, Brazil, France, and More

On March 25, the NFL is taking its game global in a big way for the 2026 season, with multiple

regular season matchups set outside the United States.

The highlight is the first ever game in Australia, where the San Francisco 49ers faced the Los

Angeles Rams at Melbourne Cricket Ground as the same, second game of the year.

Earlier this week, details emerged on other stops too.

The Dallas Cowboys will play at Marcona Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, marking the

league's debut there.

The New Orleans Saints head to Paris, France, and London welcomes three games, including

one hosted by the Washington Commanders, and two by the own, Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fans of the Cincinnati Bengals are buzzing since the team could join the International

Party as a road opponent, possibly against the Atlanta Falcons, and Madrid Spain.

Both star receivers Yermard Chase even asked about it on social media last year, and

the team expects to host its own abroad in 2027.

Meanwhile, Mexico City gets a game featuring the 49ers, and Munich hosts one with the Detroit

Lions.

The Falcons are set as the home team in Madrid, with their opponents still to be named.

All this ramps up as the season kicks off September 9th at 8.20pm Eastern, in Seattle,

with the Super Bowl Champion Seahawks, bringing.

American football to new audiences around the world.
