History

Historical Context

The NFL’s first regular-season game abroad occurred in 2005, when the New York Giants faced the Miami Dolphins at London’s Wembley Stadium. The league reported a crowd of 82,000 spectators, and the International Series generated $12 million in local tourism revenue. Similarly, the September 27, 2026 Ravens-Cowboys matchup moved to Rio’s Maracanã, drawing 72,792 fans and showcasing the league’s expanding South-American footprint. That precedent signals the NFL’s strategy to globalize its brand, prompting future contracts with Brazilian cities and broader media rights negotiations.
