The dates of the games and opponents for each club will be announced later this season."
As mentioned above, the opponents in the games are yet to be determined so six teams will be making the trip to London for the 2014 season.
The Jaguars will be returning for their second consecutive season as they are scheduled to play the San Francisco 49ers at Wembley Stadium on October 27th. They have a single regular season game scheduled in London through 2016.
