Some day there will be a European conference or division. The Viking games (plural) point to the path
"A new twist this year is that the Vikings will play in Dublin one week and then play in London a week later, which could function for the NFL as an experiment to see how travel within Europe goes. The league is exploring playing more games in Europe, and possibly even locating a team or multiple teams across the pond, and every new scheduling wrinkle is a step toward determining the logistics of that. The Vikings will be the first NFL team ever to play back-to-back-to-back games in three countries, going from the United States to Ireland to England."
That would be awesome! A European division could really grow the NFL’s fan base overseas.
You are seeing the future of the NFL. A central time zone team making a two game 'away' swing - Ireland and London - shows how a future Western Europe division will work.
The NFL was never going to disregard a massive market and, in the US, an extended television day. The NFL Europe game is probably the lowest rated NFL TV game, but it still blows away average televised NBA, MLB etc.
I think the Vi9kings have 8 home games.
Its that time of year . .
"The NFL will be playing regular-season games in Madrid, Spain, for years to come.
The league announced today that it will return to Bernabéu Stadium, home of the soccer team Real Madrid, in 2026 and for multiple years beyond that. . .
. . The NFL’s Madrid announcement comes on the heels of a report that the league will play its first game in France in 2026. The league has also announced that it will play three games in London, one in Melbourne, Australia, one in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and one in Munich, Germany in 2026."
The Bucs might even be one of the games
Australia lmfao.
