Mexico City will host the closing game of the National Footbal League’s international tour, which returns to Mexico for the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings, scheduled for November 22 at Estadio Azteca.

The American league will thus strengthen its connection with Mexican fans, who will once again be able to enjoy an official regular season game.

According to the international schedule released by the League, this tour will include nine games in seven countries across four continents.

The tour will begin in Melbourne, where the league will make its Australian debut with the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Chargers in the first week of competition. Rio de Janeiro will host the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys on September 27 at Maracanã Stadium, marking the league’s first game in the Brazilian city after previous games in São Paulo.

London will be the next stop with three games between weeks four and six, played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley: Washington Commanders vs. Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Philadelphia Eagles, and Jaguars vs. Houston Texans.

Paris will debut as a host city in week seven with the game between the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers at the Stade de France, while Madrid will once again host a game at the Santiago Bernabéu in week nine between the Atlanta Hawks and Cincinnati Bengals.

The international schedule will be completed in Germany, where the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots will face off at the Allianz Arena in week eleven, before the finale in Mexico City. The Mexican capital thus positions itself as one of the NFL’s main international venues, reaffirming the importance of the Latin American market for professional American football.

The American league consolidates its global expansion strategy, with 62 games played outside the United States. This move reflects the NFL’s interest in strengthening its presence in key international markets, incorporating terms such as NFL international schedule, American football Mexico, and NFL regular season as cornerstones of its media and commercial projection.
