NFL Eyes Global Expansion: Goodell foresees a team outside the United States
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says there will eventually be a team based outside the United States as the league expands its international slate, which this season includes nine international games such as Week 10 in Munich (Patriots vs. Lions). NFL owners approved increasing international games beyond 2026 to 10, with a long-term goal of 16 international games. The 2026 slate opens in Melbourne, Australia, with the 49ers vs. Rams in the league’s first game there.
