The Green Bay Packers will not play an international game this year, as they have two of the three previous seasons, but NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings will play two.
Two of the Packers' road opponents are hosting international games, the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin against the Vikings, and the Cleveland Browns against Minnesota at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The NFL will release its full scheduled on May 14, but two Packers games already were announced. The Packers will play the Philadelphia Eagles at Lambeau Field on Nov. 10 and the Chicago Bears on Dec. 20 at Soldier Field.
The Packers played the New York Giants in London in 2022 and the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo in 2024, losing both games. The Packers were the last NFL team to get to play a regular-season international game, 16 years after the international series was launched in 2007. Previously, the team only played internationally in the pre-season.
The seven international games will be the most in one season the NFL has played. International games this year include:
This will be the first season the NFL plays games in Berlin, Dublin and Madrid. The Berlin game will be the fifth time the NFL played in Germany, with previous games in Frankfurt and Munich.
The Packers-Eagles game in São Paulo in 2024 was the first South American game by NFL teams.
