NFL will play all their games in the United States this year
Today the NFL announced that all their scheduled games overseas have been rescheduled to play in the United States.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made this decision after consultation with our clubs, national and local governments, the NFL Players Association, medical authorities and international stadium partners.
Statement from NFL
“After considerable analysis, we believe the decision to play all our games domestically this season is the right one for our players, our clubs, and all our fans in the US, Mexico and UK,” said NFL Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer Christopher Halpin. “We greatly appreciate the support of our governmental and stadium partners in Mexico and the United Kingdom, who all agree with this decision, and we look forward to returning for games in both countries in the 2021 season.”
“We also thank our incredible fans in those territories for their passionate support of the NFL. We will continue to serve them through our outstanding media partners and by being active supporters of both grassroots football and COVID-19 relief efforts in Mexico and the UK.”
The NFL had games lined up in Mexico City and four games lined up to play in London for the 2020 NFL season. The four teams that were expected to play in those games were the Cardinals, Jaguars, Dolphins and Falcons.
These teams will all receive an additional home game, which is great for the fans in those cities.
