Now a fixture of the NFL international calendar, the Indianapolis Colts hosted the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in October 2026, the first of three London games that autumn.
The Indianapolis Colts hosted the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 4 October 2026, opening the NFL’s London season. It was the first of three games the league staged in the city that autumn.
The NFL has played regular-season games in London since 2007, when Wembley took the first of them. Wembley was the exclusive home until 2015, and Twickenham was added in 2016.
The Tottenham ground followed as the first purpose-built NFL venue outside the United States. An artificial field sits beneath the grass one, with locker rooms, broadcast, media and medical facilities built to league specification. It hosts at least two games a year under a long-term agreement with the league.
London is the only city outside America with a standing place in the regular season. The league has staged games there every season but one since the first.
The Colts held the home designation, giving up a home date in Indianapolis to play in London. Kick-off was in the afternoon, timed for an American morning audience.
