The NFL is reportedly considering an international city as a potential host for a future Super Bowl game.
Of course, all 57 Super bowl matchups in history have taken place in the United States. But ahead of the Baltimore Ravens-Tennessee Titans Week 6 game in London, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the NFL is thinking about playing the big game in England’s capital:
“As the NFL prepares for its third straight Sunday in London, the league already has discussed the idea of one day playing a Super Bowl in the British capital, according to commissioner Roger Goodell.
A Super Bowl in London is not happening anytime soon, but the NFL has at least pondered the possibility of it…
Sources around the NFL have speculated in recent weeks that it’s only a matter of time before the league shifts its focus to playing a Super Bowl in London. One league official who was in London in recent weeks commented that it felt like the NFL was using these three international games — Falcons-Jaguars, Bills-Jaguars, and Titans-Ravens on Sunday — as a trial balloon for bigger concepts in the city.”
A league source endorsed the idea to Schefter, telling the NFL insider, “Absolutely, it would make sense.”
Last season’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs was held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. This season’s Super Bowl will be held at the Las Vegas Raiders’ home venue of Allegiant Stadium on Feb. 11.
On Feb. 9, 2025, Super Bowl 59 will be held at the New Orleans Saints’ legendary venue of the Caesars Superdome. A year later on Feb. 8, Super Bowl 60 will take place at Levi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers.

For many years, there has been speculation about the NFL potentially expanding to London. In just about every aspect, the decision to play multiple NFL games in England’s capital city has been a giant success for the league.
Of course, there’s still plenty to sort through if the NFL is serious on playing a Super Bowl in London. It won’t happen until 2027 at earliest, but such a move would go a long way in further expanding the growth of the game.
