Shedeur Sanders not feeling pressure from his doubters
After sliding in the NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders explains why he’s not bothered by his many doubters as Browns career begins.
Sports Pulse
American football is headed to the world’s stage.
Previously a game exclusively played on American soil, the red, white and blue’s game has taken more trips overseas in recent years. Unlike the college student that’s studying abroad, however, the NFL isn’t looking to find itself.
It is looking to find more fans and revenue though.
After all, the sport is a business and it would be malpractice to ignore that massive opportunity for more cash. So while most of the globe recognizes football as the game that’s played with feet and a round ball, the NFL is looking to change that by bringing the oblong one to every country they can.
That strategy brings seven of the league’s 272 regular season games to foreign land. This year, we’ll welcome Dublin and Madrid to the party that previously included London, Brazil and Germany.
So get those passports updated and ready to be stamped because the NFL is going on a world tour in 2025.
Here’s a look at the international slate that awaits next season.
NFL international games schedule 2025
The NFL is set to play seven international games this upcoming season, with some new trips to Spain and Ireland debuting on the schedule.
It all gets started when the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers meet in Brazil for the second annual Sao Paulo game in Week 1. From there, the league will continue it’s traditional London games, make another stop in Berlin and eventually head to Madrid when the Miami Dolphins host the Washington Commanders.
Here’s what to know about the schedule, venues, matchups and more:
Chiefs vs. Chargers in Brazil
- Date: Friday, Sept. 5 (Week 1)
- Start time: 8:15 p.m. ET
- Location: Sao Paulo, Brazil
- Venue: Corinthians Arena
The 2025 NFL season opens up on Thursday, Sept. 4 and on Friday, Sept. 5, it’s going international. Sao Paulo is the site for this one, the same place where the Philadelphia Eagles began their Super Bowl-winning season in 2024. The Chiefs and Chargers will hope that trend continues this year, when these AFC West foes clash in Brazil.
TBD vs. Browns in London
- Date: TBD
- Start time: TBD
- Location: London, England
- Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The Browns are taking their show on the road and across the pond this season, giving the British fans a taste of Cleveland’s take on American football. Kevin Stefanski’s squad isn’t coming into 2025 with great expectations, but not all hope is lost yet. If he makes the team, perhaps Shedeur Sanders could be under center in London.
TBD vs. Jets in London
- Date: TBD
- Start time: TBD
- Location: London, England
- Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The Jets were only good for people that wanted to crack jokes in 2024, missing the playoffs for a 14th straight season. Aaron Glenn is now coaching the green-and-white, hoping that he can help change their fortune. New York is no stranger to the international stage, with this being their fourth trip to London. They are 1-2 in the previous three, including a loss in 2024 to the Vikings.
TBD vs. Jaguars in London
- Date: TBD
- Start time: TBD
- Location: London, England
- Venue: Wembley Stadium
If London had a home team, it would be the Jaguars. They have essentially made the country their second home and now get to introduce Travis Hunter to an international audience. Trevor Lawrence is back from injury and Liam Coen is hoping to revive the Jacksonville squad in their home away from home.
TBD vs. Colts in Berlin
- Date: TBD
- Start time: TBD
- Location: Berlin, Germany
- Venue: Olympiastadion
The Colts have quarterback concerns this season, but if Anthony Richardson realizes his potential, this could be a fun team to see in an exclusive window. If things go south, however, Shane Steichen might find himself left behind in Germany.
Commanders vs. Dolphins in Madrid
- Date: Sunday, Nov. 16 (Week 11)
- Start time: TBD
- Location: Madrid, Spain
- Venue: Bernabéu Stadium
The Dolphins get the honor of hosting the NFL’s first game in Spain and will get to battle the NFL’s rookie of the year, Jayden Daniels. Washington was a surprising squad that made the playoffs last season, finishing one win away from reaching the Super Bowl. The Commanders have enjoyed plenty of good fortune since their new ownership group took over. As for Miami, they’ll be trying to get back on track after a disappointing 2024.
