WEEK 7 / LONDON:
- Los Angeles Rams vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

- Start time: 9:30 a.m. ET
- Venue: Olympiastadion
If QB Anthony Richardson realizes his potential, The Colts could be a fun team to see. If things go south that could be another story to witness. The Falcons also have an interesting quarterback situation, as both Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins both easily can be regarded as starters remain on the roster.
WEEK 11 / MADRID:
- Washington Commanders vs. Miami Dolphins
- Date: Sunday, Nov. 16

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 one win away from reaching the Super Bowl. As for Miami, they'll be trying to get back on track after a disappointing 2024.
The revealed 2025 NFL International schedule showcases a significant commitment to global expansion, bringing seven regular season games featuring a variety of matchups to fans across South America and Europe, including new venues in Ireland and Spain.
