The NFL confirms home teams for the 2026 clash in London and Munich

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play two home games in London during the 2026 NFL season, while the Washington Commanders will host the other in London.

The announcement comes one day after the Detroit Lions were confirmed as the host team for the NFL’s return to Munich next season.

The sixth NFL regular season game in Germany will be especially emotional for Detroit wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and his family.

26-year-old Miriam’s mother is German and he and his two brothers speak the language fluently. They visited Germany often and it was Miriam who broke the news to her youngest son, external That his team will play at the Allianz Arena.

“It was my dream to play a match in my mother’s homeland,” Amun-Ra said. “I can’t wait to play in front of the amazing fans I’ve gotten to know through my visits and soccer camps.”

Dates and opponents for the games will be confirmed during the release of the full NFL schedule in May.

They will be part of a record nine international matches in 2026, across four continents, seven countries and eight stadiums.

“I think this is really great for him,” Henry Hodgson, the NFL’s UK and Ireland general manager, told BBC Sport. “I was lucky to spend time with his older brother, Equanimus, at their family home in Cologne. They are really proud of their German heritage.

“Going back to 2019, when Efe Obada had the opportunity to play for the Spurs with the Carolina Panthers, it was really special for players who have that history, that heritage in a country, to be able to go out there and show people, in real life, what they do.

“I’m sure he’ll embrace this opportunity. He’s one of the most exciting receivers in the NFL and with a really successful team, so this is a really exciting matchup to bring to Munich.”
