3. London

The NFL’s International Series of regular season games has started to expand outside of London’s Wembley Stadium, and into other primarily soccer venues in the relative vicinity. That feels like a bit of a force-feed to local fans on the league’s part, but London seems to have some appetite for American football and that could easily grow in the future.

There are clear logistical issues with having an NFL franchise in London, or any other city overseas for that matter. But a one-off event like a game has obviously proven to be viable in a certain sense, and it’s easy to see a path from more regular season games right into a London Super Bowl eventually.

London has been the NFL’s international target market to this point, with a de facto home team in the Jacksonville Jaguars that now plays multiple regular season games there each season. Truly, for better or worse, it’s probably only a mater of time before we seen an International Series Super Bowl in London.
