Houston Texans v Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL London Games 2026

Sunday, 18 October 2026 Wembley Stadium

The stadium that proved the NFL could sell out London hosts the Houston Texans against the Jacksonville Jaguars this October, the last of three London games this autumn.

Wembley Stadium, where the NFL played its first London game in 2007, hosts the Houston Texans against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Wembley on Sunday 18 October 2026. It is the last of three fixtures the league stages in the city this year.

The stadium was the league’s exclusive home in London until 2015. It hosted games through 2019 and has done so again since 2022, now alongside the purpose-built stadium in Tottenham. It is the largest venue the league plays in outside America.

Nearly two decades on, London is the only city outside the United States with a permanent place in the regular season.

An NFL crowd is neutral and loud from the first snap, wearing the shirts of 32 teams rather than two. Most of the people in it support a franchise that is not playing and have come for the sport.

The Jaguars carry the home designation, as they have for London games for more than a decade. It is the season’s only London game at this ground. The other two fell in Tottenham a fortnight and a week earlier.
