The NFL has announced a new partnership with London’s Rugby Football Union starting in October 2016. Twickenham Stadium will host a minimum of one game per year over the next three years. The agreement also allows the NFL to send two additional games to Twickenham Stadium over that same time period.

These games will be in addition to the two the league will play at Wembley Stadium through 2020 and the two that Tottenham’s new stadium will host starting in 2018. That means that at least five regular season games will be played in London in the 2018 season.
“We are committed to continuing to grow our sport in the UK and believe that adding Twickenham Stadium to our roster of host venues in London is further evidence of that commitment,” NFL executive vice president of international Mark Waller said in the league’s announcement. “We are very excited to give our fans the opportunity to enjoy NFL action at another world-class venue famous for attracting loyal and passionate fans from across the globe.”
None of the Twickenham Stadium matchups have been announced yet. They will be the first games in London at a stadium other than Wembley, which has hosted every game since the International Series began in 2007.
In October, the Jaguars announced that they would be playing at least one game in London through 2020.
