2023 NFL International Series​

MATCHUPDATESITE
Falcons vs. JaguarsOct. 1London (Wembley Stadium)
Jaguars vs. BillsOct. 8London (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
Ravens vs. TitansOct. 15London (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
Dolphins vs. ChiefsNov. 5Frankfurt (Frankfurt Stadium)
Colts vs. PatriotsNov. 12Frankfurt (Frankfurt Stadium

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play twice in London in 2023 -- a first for an NFL team -- and the Miami Dolphins will face reigning the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in a marquee matchup of the NFL international games announced Wednesday by the league.
The Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts join the list of teams playing outside the United States next season, along with the Jaguars, Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots.
The international slate will kick off in London with a Week 4 clash between the Falcons and Jaguars on Oct. 1 at Wembley Stadium. The Jaguars will play their second game in London a week later when they take on the Bills on Oct. 8 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Titans and Ravens will play the final London game on the schedule on Oct. 15 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
"We have staged games in London since 2007, with interest and momentum in the sport here in the U.K. rising year on year and look forward to giving fans the best NFL experience yet in 2023," NFL UK general manager Henry Hodgson said.
Germany will host the remaining two NFL games in Europe: a Week 9 meeting between the Dolphins and Chiefs on Nov. 5 and the Colts facing the Patriots on Nov. 12. Both games will be played at Frankfurt Stadium.
It will be the first time the NFL has staged multiple games in Germany, which hosted its first regular-season game last season, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earning a 21-16 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The five games played in Europe is also the most for an NFL season, and all five will begin at 9:30 a.m. ET.
We are also pleased to confirm that the two games in Germany will be played in Frankfurt, a city steeped in NFL heritage," said Peter O'Reilly, NFL executive vice president, club business, major events and international. "We look forward to staging both games at Eintracht Frankfurt's Stadium, building on the incredible atmosphere experienced at last season's game in Munich."
There will be no international game in Mexico in 2023 due to renovations taking place at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
The full 2023 NFL schedule will be released Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
The Jaguars previously planned to play two home games at Wembley in 2020, but those contests were canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. This year, they will play the second game of a three-year contract the NFL approved in March 2022 for them to host a game annually at Wembley Stadium. The contract gives the Jaguars full responsibility for the games and allows the franchise to keep all revenue.

Jets to host rival Dolphins in NFL's first Black Friday game.​

The New York Jets and Miami Dolphins will play in the NFL's first-ever Black Friday game.
The historic game, announced Wednesday, will be played at MetLife Stadium on Nov. 24, with kickoff slated for 3 p.m. ET.
Amazon, which has the rights to the game, will provide free access for all fans, streaming exclusively on Prime Video.
"We're excited to be the home of the first-ever NFL Black Friday game, and what better way to kick off this new tradition than with a rivalry matchup between the Dolphins and the Jets," Amazon vice president of global sports video Marie Donoghue said in a statement. "On one of the biggest shopping days of the year, we're thrilled to offer another way to delight Amazon customers, and give all fans free access to this AFC East showdown."
The full NFL schedule will be released Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. With the recent addition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Jets figure to be one of the league's hottest prime-time draws.
The Jets and Dolphins have a storied rivalry dating to 1966. The Dolphins have a slight edge in the regular-season series, 57-56-1, and the AFC East rivals split last season, with each team winning on its home field.
Other holiday games announced Wednesday include the New York Giants at the Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Day and the Cincinnati Bengals at the Kansas City Chiefs on New Year's Eve.

Are they planning to move the Jaguars to London eventually?

Cincy / KCy is a weird Week 17 game. One or both of these teams could be resting players in Playoff prep mode. This game would be great much earlier in the season.

I thought it was possibly going to be the Thursday night opener

Agree that it's a little late, though that's how it was in 2021 and was one of the best games in the season

Would rather see it in November when both teams are in rhythm

Could be a super hyped game though, especially if the 1 seed is on the line. Remember Bills/Bengals was a Week 17 game before the Hamlin thing and that was super hyped.

At some point; will these GM's ever get together and figure out " this black qb thing never seens to work" but then I am guessing the 1 crazy liberal stands up and yells " but look at this jabroni last season" Next season; bottom 10 in NFL, but "boy is he electrifying when he doesnt have a torn hamstring"
Are you sure you are not related to Adolph Rupp?

Well I see it as BOTH teams could be playing for the top seed as well...


Cinn vs Buffalo where the guy dropped dead was wk 17 and the stakes were high.
