NFL Aims for Global Expansion with International Games
The NFL plans eight international games next season, including a potential first in Ireland. Commissioner Roger Goodell announced ongoing efforts to expand the league's global presence, with games likely in Spain, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, Germany, and possibly Ireland, aiming to broaden the NFL's international appeal.
The NFL is ambitiously planning to hold eight international games for the next season, potentially marking its first appearance in Ireland. This announcement underscores the league's unwavering determination to expand its global reach beyond the U.S., according to commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday.
The completion of the Carolina Panthers' overtime victory over the New York Giants in Munich marked the end of this season's five international matchups. Goodell confirmed plans for a 2025 game in Madrid at the renowned Santiago Bernabeu stadium, and reiterated commitments to return to other venues like Mexico City and Brazil.
While the NFL had its South American debut in Sao Paulo recently, the league revealed it has no immediate intentions to hold the Super Bowl outside the U.S., maintaining its tradition even as it pursues global audience growth.
