The NFL is making history in 2025 with its biggest global push yet - seven regular-season games across five countries. From new destinations like Dublin and Madrid to London's classic rivalries, here's your ultimate guide to the action.

First NFL Game in Ireland: Vikings vs Steelers

Mark your calendars for September 28 when Minnesota Vikings take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Dublin's Croke Park. This historic matchup will be Ireland's first-ever NFL regular season game at the iconic Gaelic sports stadium. The Vikings become the first team to play back-to-back international games this season, while the Steelers look to strengthen their global fan base.

London's Football Feast

England's capital continues as the NFL's European hub with three major clashes:

• Vikings vs Browns (Oct 5 @ Tottenham Stadium) - Minnesota's second London Game in three weeks
• Broncos vs Jets (Oct 12 @ Tottenham) - Potential QB showdown between Wilson and Rodgers
• Rams vs Jaguars (Oct 19 @ Wembley) - Jacksonville's record 14th London game against the returning Rams

Breaking New Ground: Berlin & Madrid

The NFL expands to two new European cities:

• Berlin's Olympic Stadium hosts Falcons vs Colts on Nov 9 - Germany's fifth NFL game since 2022
• Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu debuts Commanders vs Dolphins on Nov 16, featuring Miami's explosive offense led by Tua Tagovailoa

South America & Beyond

The global schedule kicks off in São Paulo on September 5 (Chargers vs TBA), building on Brazil's successful 2024 debut. League officials confirm plans to add Melbourne, Australia in 2026, proving the NFL's commitment to worldwide growth.

Why This Matters

• Record 7 international games across 3 continents
• Historic first games in Ireland and Spain
• Strategic team placements (Vikings/Jaguars as international regulars)
• Fan tickets go on sale Summer 2024 through NFL Global channels

With these bold moves, the NFL isn't just exporting football - it's creating a new blueprint for global sports entertainment.
