The 40th regular-season NFL game played in London opened the 2025 season in Tottenham, where the Minnesota Vikings beat the Cleveland Browns with 25 seconds left.
The Minnesota Vikings beat the Cleveland Browns 21 to 17 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 5 October 2025, opening the NFL’s London season. The Browns were the home side in the league’s 40th regular-season game in the capital.
The league brought regular-season football to London in 2007, when Wembley took the first game. Wembley was the exclusive home until 2015, and Twickenham was added in 2016.
The Tottenham ground followed as the only purpose-built NFL venue outside the United States. An artificial field sits beneath the grass one, with locker rooms and broadcast facilities built to league specification.
The Vikings came from Dublin, where they had lost 24 to 21 to the Pittsburgh Steelers a week earlier. The Browns started the rookie Dillon Gabriel, the first quarterback in league history to make his first start in an international game.
Gabriel threw two touchdown passes, and Cleveland led 17 to 14 through the whole of the fourth quarter. Carson Wentz then completed nine of nine passes on a 10-play, 80-yard drive. Jordan Addison caught the winning 12-yard touchdown with 25 seconds left, and the win made the Vikings five from five in London.
