Looking back at NFL London 2023
The 2024 NFL London games are just around the corner, and here we take a look back at last year’s matches in the United Kingdom.
The NFL is a massively popular sport, particularly in the United States. However, in recent years, the sport has become increasingly popular in a number of countries, including, of course, the United Kingdom.
London has been hosting NFL matches since 2007, with the games that year being played at the iconic Wembley Stadium. NFL London Games are still being played under that iconic arch, and recently, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has become another venue to host the NFL when it comes to the British Isles. It has been hosting these games since 2019.
The games have been hosted at Twickenham a couple of times – the first occasion was in 2016, and the other came a year later in 2017.
Fast forward to 2024, where, at the time of writing, we do not yet know all of the NFL franchises that will be playing their matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and at Wembley. Confirmed teams are as follows: the Jacksonville Jaguars (Wembley), the Chicago Bears (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) and the Minnesota Vikings (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium).
The Jacksonville Jaguars return for the eleventh time to the NFL London Games, and they did also participate in the 2023 NFL London Games.
As for the Chicago Bears, this is the third time they have played in London. Their first was in 2011 when they were 24 – 18 winners at Wembley Stadium. Then, the most recent match the Bears played in London was in 2019, when they were narrowly defeated 21 – 24 by the Oakland Raiders at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Minnesota Vikings have participated in the NFL London Games on three previous occasions. Their first was in September 2013, when they were 27 – 34 winners against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They then beat the Cleveland Browns 33 – 16 in 2017 before emerging as 28 – 25 winners against the New Orleans Saints at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 2nd October 2022.
Let’s now look back at the most recent NFL London Games that took place from 1st to 15th October 2023, with games hosted at Wembley Stadium and at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The first game to be played last year was between the Atlanta Falcons and the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the end, this game was dominated by the Jaguars, who managed to emerge as very comfortable 7 – 23 winners at Wembley.
This was followed by a tight game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Jaguars made it two victories out of two after beating the Bills by a margin of 25 – 20.
Finally, the Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans came face to face for the final NFL game to be played in London in 2023. The game was played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and this, too, was a tight contest. It was the Ravens who were 24 – 16 winners in North London.
Excitement and anticipation is building ahead of the NFL London Games making their return in 2024.
