The NFL continues to strengthen its presence in the United Kingdom, with regular-season games scheduled in London through 2027 and beyond. These matchups, held at iconic venues like Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, have become a highlight of the league’s international calendar, drawing enthusiastic crowds from both the UK and the U.S. Alongside the NFL’s success, discussions about bringing college football games to Britain are gaining traction, offering fans even more opportunities to experience American football abroad.
U.S. fans are traveling to the UK for these games to combine their love of football with the chance to explore historic cities like London, Manchester, and Edinburgh. Affordable sports travel packages, celebrity meet-and-greets, and exclusive tailgate events make the trip even more appealing. Beyond the games, fans can immerse themselves in British culture, from world-famous landmarks to local pubs and cuisine, turning a football weekend into a memorable overseas adventure.
Looking ahead, the NFL’s commitment to the UK suggests more games and events are on the horizon. With the country’s strong fan base and state-of-the-art stadiums, the future of American football in Britain looks promising. For U.S. travelers, this means more chances to cheer on their teams overseas while experiencing the best of international sports tourism.
Making it all inclusive with all of the events made it very special.
Josh arranged a fantastic trip for us and it was truly amazing! Being in another country and watching your favorite football team play, from the pep rally to game day, was an amazing experience. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Hope to see you next year for another fantastic experience!
We chose Sports Fans Travel because of the itinerary. It was more than a football game — it was a thoughtfully curated Australian adventure. We tried kangaroo pie, stopped on a dark road to see the Milky Way and the Southern Cross, fed wallabies in the Blue Mountains, took in the Opera House from a ferry, and hung out with 49ers QB and Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia, who was so approachable and a great choice for our host. Josh and Zack were always there and took care of everyone and everything — nothing was too small or unimportant. That's what made it such a good value, and why we'll book with Sports Fans Travel again without hesitation.
Communication from Josh and that he took time to make us feel special.
