The Jacksonville Jaguars played at Wembley Stadium for seven consecutive seasons from 2013 to 2019.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced they will be returning to play at Wembley Stadium in 2022 after a three-year absence from the national stadium.

The London games returned last October when the Atlanta Falcons defeated the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, followed by the Jaguars’ victory over the Miami Dolphins in what was their 30th game in the capital. since 2007.

The head of the European and UK NFL recently told Sky Sports that the Jags were in “final talks” with Wembley for a comeback this year, which the organization has now confirmed.

The franchise will be under new management following the appointment of Doug Pederson as head coach, while UK fans will once again see 2021 overall No. 1 quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

The league is set to play at least four international games per season starting in 2022, and the overseas roster now also includes a trip to Germany.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed on Wednesday that Munich and Frankfurt will play two regular season games each over the next four years, starting with Munich in 2022.

The UK’s value as the center of the NFL was further enhanced during the games in October when Commissioner Roger Goodell and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan showed up at the Tottenham Community Sports Center to launch the UK NFL Foundation, which aims to combat inequality and lack of opportunity for 12-20 year olds in the capital in order to expand across the country.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium also opened its doors for the NFL International Tournament, in which 43 players from 13 countries competed in a physical exercise for a spot on the International Player Pathway.

This was a reflection of the all-round package, ongoing relationship and ongoing presence that the league was aiming for, and which will contribute to the legacy of the International Series games as much as to the action itself on the field.
