NFL planning 8 international games for 2025 UPD and more in 2026

A game in Australia would likely have to be played at what would be 11 PM on the East Coast of the US, in order to put the game early afternoon in Australia. This would mean NFL Network would go head-to-head with after dark college football on multiple networks.

If you played the game at Noon on Sunday in Melbourne, that would be 8:00 pm Staturday, ET.

In addition to the international games, there should be 8 NFL games played in non-NFL cities in the United States every year, primarily in large college stadiums. For example, Ohio Stadium in Columbus, home of the national champions, can host a Bengals game and a Browns game in years the AFC teams have 9 home games and neither is scheduled to host a game overseas, tickets for which can either be sold separately or as a 2-game package. All the gameday traditions for Ohio State games would be carried over to the NFL games.
