The NFL announced on Monday that the New Orleans Saints vs. Miami Dolphins Week 4 game at Wembley Stadium in London will be a 2:30 p.m. kickoff local time. That’s a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff here in the United States, just like like the three London games in 2016,

Last season, it was reported that the NFL was considering pushing the kickoff time for the London games until later due to declining ratings. That could still indeed happen though, with three other games set to be played in London during the 2017 season.

The Jaguars and the Ravens are also scheduled to play at Wembley in Week 3, but the time for their game hasn’t been determined yet.

There will also be two games at Twickenham Stadium, with the Vikings facing the Browns, and the Cardinals taking on the Rams. Both games are to be played in either Week 7 or 8.

Games across the pond in the United Kingdom have been going on for the past decade now. They were expanded to two games in 2013, and three in the past few seasons.

The Jaguars, Rams, Browns, and Cardinals are still awaiting news of their start times, but we already know if the Rams get an early kickoff, they’ll watch anyway.
