History

Historical Context

On October 28 2007 the NFL held its first International Series game, with the Giants beating the Dolphins at Wembley and 40,000 tickets sold in 90 minutes. Owners approved up to two overseas games (2007-2011) and extended the UK schedule through 2016. The 2021 International Home Marketing Areas program now gives all 32 teams foreign market rights, driving today’s games in London, Germany, Australia and France.
