NFL to play in Australia

[MaroonBells]

Melbourne in 2026. Europe is one thing, a 10 hour flight from LA. But Australia? That's a 22-hour flight from New York.

15 1/2 hr flight from La to Sydney...

You lose a day when flying from Los Angeles to Sydney because you cross the International Date Line (IDL).

Yikes!

Lol you can always count on the NFL to continue making decisions not in the best interest of the players, fans, or the game itself

[Still Hurtn]

I hate it.

[Vikergirl]

That's a lot of travel time and time differences to adjust to.

Monday afternoon game in Melbourne would be Sunday night here. Unless they want to play on Sunday and go head to head with CFB Saturday night. Theyve had a gentleman's agreement not to play on Saturdays until CFB regular season is done but maybe that will change.

So it’ll be us vs the Rams Monday night and we’ll play the Packers at Lamb-blow the following week?
