History

Historical Context

The NFL opened its International Series on Oct 28 2007 when the New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium, the first regular-season game outside North America and a sell-out of 40,000 tickets in 90 minutes. Building on the 2005 Mexico City debut that drew 103,467 fans, the league added annual London games and now expands the 2026 European broadcast package.
