NFL Confirms Schedule for 2025 International Series
The history of the NFL started two decades ago with a match between the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers held in Mexico. 54 regular season games have been played abroad since then, gradually expanding to new European countries: the United Kingdom, Germany, and Brazil. The 2025 season will see a record seven NFL matchups outside the US, including first-ever games taking place in Ireland and Spain. Given the rising popularity of American football on the global scene, the 2025 International Series promises to deliver lots of memorable experiences for NFL fans. So, check out the league schedule so that not to miss anything.[1]
Sao Paulo Game
Brazil is the first country to welcome the NFL in 2025. The league expanded its international campaign to Sao Paulo only in 2024, and the opening match was played by the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles at the Corinthians Arena. This year’s match will be held at the same location, so mark your calendar for the upcoming event:
Date | Time | Teams | Location |
September 5 | 8:00 PM | Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers | Corinthians Arena |
Dublin Game
Ireland will see the National Football League for the first time, welcoming the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers at the Croke Park in Dublin. The most recent international NFL match between the teams took place in London in 2013 when the Vikings defeated their opponents 34-27. The Vikes have already played four games abroad and won each of them, so do The Steelers have any chances at all?

London Games
London hosted the biggest number of international NFL games, and the 2025 season will mark the milestone 40th match in the UK capital. The first game was played at Wembley Stadium 18 years ago between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants. Such a big event stirred a lot of excitement among fans – 40,000 tickets sold in just 90 minutes of sales prove this fact. The NFL will return to the stadium again this year to host the final game in the London series. The first two matches will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Here’s how the fixtures look:

The event will take place at the Olympiastadion, the most spacious stadium in Germany able to accomodate 74,475 fans. Hence, there’s every reason to expect record attendance since the first league match held in the country. Check out the schedule and purchase tickets in advance, as they are sold out quickly:
