Jaguars To Play Back-To-Back Games In London For Second Time
The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to play in back-to-back games in London for the second straight season, according to Jacksonville.com.
The Jaguars became the first team in history to play two straight games in London and they are expected to return to the English capital.
Jacksonville, who went 2-0 in London in 2023, will play as the designated home team at Wembley Stadium against an unknown opponent.
They will then play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against the Chicago Bears as the away team, with the games expected for October.
The Jaguars went to London for Week 4 and Week 5 of the NFL calendar, beating the Atlanta Falcons 23-7 and the Buffalo Bills 25-20.
With the two-game experiment being a success, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell left the door open for the trip to be extended to three games. “We like to take things in increments. I think one of the things we always focus on… is to learn from our experience every year. To try something a little different and understand the impact of that,” said Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner.

What is NFL Sunday Ticket?
NFL Sunday Ticket is a sports broadcast package that shows all out-of-market regular season Sunday NFL games not available on your local NBC, CBS or FOX affiliates.
“So if you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan but live in Miami, you’d be able to watch all of the Sunday Cowboys games that aren’t shown on NBC, CBS or FOX in your local market,” reads the description on YouTube’s website.
The service gives fans the option to watch up to four games at once, according to YouTube.
How to get NFL Sunday Ticket
You can purchase Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV’s website.
NFL Sunday Ticket is offered exclusively through YouTube TV. Since launching in 1984, the package had previous been delivered by satellite service DirecTV.
Google, which owns YouTube and the YouTube TV live streaming service, won the rights to the package in December 2022 by outbidding Amazon and ESPN and paying about $2 billion annually over seven years, according to the Wall Street Journal.
