History

Historical Context

The NFL’s first regular-season game abroad came on Oct 2 2005, when the Arizona Cardinals beat the 49 Ers at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca before 103,467 fans. A 2007 London International Series made overseas fixtures annual, and the league now schedules games in Germany, Brazil and, from 2026, Australia. The Vikings’ and Buccaneers’ recent signings and Brazil-Australia plans extend that global push.
