The NFL’s upcoming international games in 2024 will feature some of the league’s newest potential stars, as well as a seasoned veteran in Aaron Rodgers. With six of the top 11 picks from the most recent draft set to take the field, fans can expect to see exciting matchups and impressive performances on the international stage.
One of the highlights of the international schedule will be Aaron Rodgers facing off against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Rodgers, now playing for the New York Jets, has a history of success against the Vikings from his time with the Green Bay Packers. However, his last trip to London in 2022 ended in a loss and a season marred by injury. This game will be a chance for Rodgers to redeem himself on the international stage.
The Jacksonville Jaguars will continue their tradition of playing in international games, with back-to-back matchups scheduled in London. This season, they will first face off against the Chicago Bears, featuring top pick Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze. The Jaguars will then play host to the New England Patriots and their new star quarterback, Drake Maye. With a history of success in international games, the Jaguars will look to continue their winning streak on the global stage.
The international schedule will conclude in Munich, with the New York Giants taking on the Carolina Panthers. This game will mark the fourth regular-season game in Germany, continuing the league’s expansion efforts in the region. The Giants, who recently acquired international marketing rights in Germany, will look to make a statement in their first game on German soil.
NFL executive vice president Peter O’Reilly expressed excitement about the upcoming international games, highlighting the league’s commitment to global growth. With matchups in London, Munich, and the historic first game in São Paulo, Brazil, the NFL is poised to reach new fans and provide memorable experiences for football enthusiasts around the world.
