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.

49ers to Play Rams in First-Ever Game in Melbourne, Australia
"The NFL has a growing presence in Australia with over 7.5 million passionate fans and is committed to investing in the development of the game year-round across the continent and the Asia-Pacific region. The NFL opened its Australia and New Zealand office in 2022 on Australia's Gold Coast, established an NFL Flag football program in 2022 and officially launched the NFL Academy APAC in 2024."
According to Roc Nation, which produced the Super Bowl halftime show, the Super Bowl LX performance featuring Bad Bunny generated 4.157 billion worldwide views within the first 24 hours.

Shhh you awaken the tards
Gaddummit, I missed the halftime show (just like all the past halftime shows) because I took that time for a restroom break and to prepare snacks for the second half.
The NFL announced today that the Falcons will be one of the participants in the previously announced Madrid game. It is expected to be a Falcons home game, and the Falcons will play eight games in Atlanta. NFC teams have nine home games in 2026.
The Falcons’ opponent has not been announced, but of their nine home opponents this year, the Lions, 49ers and Saints can be ruled out because they already have international games set for this season. Two of the Falcons’ 2026 home opponents, the Bears and Chiefs, have international marketing rights in Spain, so they would be natural choices to play there.
The game will be played at Bernabéu, home of soccer team Real Madrid
This is what happens when some honk rightie is in charge…
