Houston Texans v Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL London Games 2026

Sunday, 18 October 2026 Wembley Stadium · Wembley

The Houston Texans play the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 18 October 2026, kick-off 14:30, the last of the three NFL London Games this autumn.

Wembley held London’s first NFL regular season game in 2007 and was the league’s exclusive home in the city until 2015, which makes it the ground where the idea was proved rather than merely one that stages it. It kept hosting games through 2019 and has done so again since 2022, now alongside the purpose-built stadium in Tottenham. Nearly two decades on, London is the only city outside the United States with a permanent place in the regular season, and Wembley is the largest venue the league plays in anywhere beyond America.

An NFL crowd fills a stadium differently from a football one. It is neutral, loud from the first snap, and wearing the shirts of thirty-two teams rather than two, because most of the people in it support a franchise that is not playing and have come for the sport rather than for a side. Nothing else at Wembley looks like it.

The Houston Texans play the Jacksonville Jaguars there on Sunday 18 October 2026. The Jaguars carry the home designation, as they have for London games for more than a decade. It is the third London game of the 2026 season and the only one at this ground, the other two falling in Tottenham a fortnight and a week earlier. Wembley has staged NFL football for nineteen years.
