2023 NFL London Games: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pitch to be transformed

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a state-of-the-art venue and is set to host NFL London Games fixtures once more in 2023

The NFL London Games is coming to London, UK, once again in October 2023, with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosting two fixtures. This will be the fourth time that the Spurs stadium will stage the NFL, having first hosted the NFL London Games in 2019.

The Chicago Bears were defeated 21 – 24 by the Oakland Raiders in the first of these two matches before the Carolina Panthers got the better of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, beating them 37 – 26 in an enthralling match.

There were of course, no NFL London Games hosted anywhere in 2020, and the next time that they took place was in 2021. The Atlanta Falcons were 27 – 20 victors against the New York Jets in the first fixture before the Jacksonville Jaguars got the better of the Miami Dolphins, beating them 23 – 20 in what was a very tight contest.

Four teams once again headed to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2022; the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings were 28 – 25 winners against the Saints, whilst it was the New York Giants who got the better of the Green Bay Packers, beating them 27 – 22.

With the growth of the NFL’s popularity in the UK, and with attendances at the previous two NFL London Games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium not dropping below 60,000, the return of the NFL to North London is no surprise and excitement for the 2023 event is growing.

The Buffalo Bills will be playing the Jacksonville Jaguars on 8^th October 2023, before the Tennessee Titans face the Baltimore Ravens on 15^th October 2023.

Opened in 2019, the facilities at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are state of the art. A crucial part of the stadium’s design was to make it a multi-purpose venue, and therefore two pitches were installed to cater for both football and the NFL.

The football pitch is fully retractable, with the NFL field able to take its place. Taking about 25 minutes, the three sections that make up the pitch weigh 3000 tonnes and are moved along nine rails before eventually being retracted, with the NFL pitch sliding into place simultaneously. The touchlines are then lifted up to be level with the pitch with the help of hydraulic slides.

Given the state-of-the-art facilities, it makes the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium an ideal host of the NFL London Games, and it is set to welcome thousands of fans from all around the world to watch some of the best teams and players in the sport come face to face.
