More International Games in 2027
NFL approves 10 international games in 2027, with Jaguars’ game making 11
The NFL will play a record nine international games in 2026. They will further grow that number in 2027.
NFL executive Peter O’Reilly announced at the owners’ meetings on Tuesday that owners approved a proposal to increase the cap on international games from eight to 10. That doesn’t include the Jaguars’ game at Wembley, which would mean a possible 11 international games next year.
In 2026, the NFL will play in Australia, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany and Mexico.
The NFL has other countries it hopes to take its game to, including Japan and Italy.

Vikings lease allows them to move one home game through 2030.
The Minnesota Vikings' stadium lease with the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) for U.S. Bank Stadium allows the team to relocate home games, though it is specifically structured for international games rather than a general one-per-season allowance
The specific international game allowance includes:
The Allowance: The lease allows the team to play up to six international "home" games over a 30-year period without facing any penalty or needing to make up for lost local revenue.
The Breakdown: The 30-year span is broken down into two 15-year blocks. The Vikings are permitted to move up to three home games to international sites between 2016 and 2030, and another three games between 2031 and 2045.
No Rent Relief: Despite playing off-site, the team is still required to pay their full annual rent.
Visiting Team Exemptions: The limit only applies to the Vikings as the designated host. The team can act as the visiting squad for any international games scheduled by the NFL without it counting against their allocated home-game limits. [1, 2, 3]
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
