The NFL International Series continues to grow in stature, and this year’s schedule offers fans across Europe an even wider spread of action. With fixtures in Dublin, London, Berlin, and Madrid, the league’s commitment to global expansion is clearer than ever.
From a betting perspective, the NFL BET odds will shift dramatically depending on which fanbase travels best and how teams adapt to unfamiliar conditions. Here’s a game-by-game look at the European slate for 2025.
NFL International Series: Europe
September 28: Minnesota Vikings vs Pittsburgh Steelers – Croke Park, Dublin
Dublin welcomes its first-ever NFL game after dipping its toes into American football by regularly hosting college action at the Aviva Stadium.
The Steelers’ large Irish following will ensure they feel right at home, making this more of a “home-away-from-home” fixture for Mike Tomlin’s men.
The Vikings, no strangers to international travel, will need to overcome a hostile atmosphere despite being the designated hosts.
October 5: Minnesota Vikings vs Cleveland Browns – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
The Vikings stay on the road the following week as the action shifts to London. Kevin O’Connell’s side will have fond memories of Tottenham after edging past the Jets 23-17 there last year.
The Browns, meanwhile, have history with the Vikings on this side of the Atlantic—suffering a 33-16 defeat at Twickenham in 2017.
That result could serve as motivation for Kevin Stefanski and his side, who are desperate to improve their international record.
October 12: Denver Broncos vs New York Jets – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
The Jets are back in London for the second straight year, but carry the burden of an unwanted record: they are 0-2 in international games.
Breaking that streak will be key if Aaron Glenn wants to push New York into playoff contention. The Broncos, however, bring a stronger overseas résumé. They edged Jacksonville 21-17 at Wembley in 2022 and will look to repeat the trick against Gang Green.
October 19: LA Rams vs Jacksonville Jaguars – Wembley Stadium, London
It wouldn’t be the London Series without the Jaguars, who have built a second home at Wembley. After playing twice each of the past two years, they’ll only feature once this season.
Liam Coen’s side will be tested by a Rams team that has not appeared in London since 2019, when they dismantled the Bengals 24-10.
Jacksonville’s loyal UK following could give them the edge, but the Rams’ star power will make this one of the most compelling matchups of the series.
November 9: Atlanta Falcons vs Indianapolis Colts – Olympic Stadium, Berlin
Germany’s NFL journey expands to Berlin for the first time, following successful stints in Munich and Frankfurt.
The Colts are familiar with German turf, having beaten the Patriots 10-6 in Frankfurt back in 2023. The Falcons, on the other hand, are less comfortable overseas.
Their last international outing ended in a 23-7 defeat to the Jaguars at Wembley, and they’ll need to step up to avoid a similar fate against an improving Colts side.
November 16: Washington Commanders vs Miami Dolphins – Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid
Spain joins the NFL family this year with a historic first fixture at Real Madrid’s state-of-the-art Bernabéu.
For Washington, this is only their second trip abroad—the first being a 27-27 draw against the Bengals in London back in 2016.
The Dolphins, however, arrive with greater experience and a European record of 1-2. Their speed and offensive firepower should make them box-office entertainment in front of a brand-new market of fans.
