London’s NFL October is far from over. The first of this month’s three regular-season games has already been played — the Indianapolis Colts beat the Washington Commanders 30-13 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday — but two huge fixtures are still to come, split between Tottenham and Wembley, with both kicking off at 2:30pm. The league has even opened an official pop-up shop on Oxford Street for the month, and supporters without a ticket can still get their fix at a free two-day NFL fan event in Trafalgar Square this week. Here is everything you need to know about the NFL London games in October.
Philadelphia Eagles v Jacksonville Jaguars — Sunday 11 October, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The next game up sees the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, 11 October, with kick-off at 2:30pm. It will be the second time the two sides have met in London, following their previous clash at Wembley back in 2018.
Gates open two hours before kick-off, and the NFL advises supporters to be in their seats around 30 minutes before the start so they do not miss the pre-match entertainment. From 10am until 2pm there will also be an NFL Gameday Experience around the stadium, with activities, DJs, mascots, cheerleaders, merchandise stalls and food and drink to get the crowd in the mood.
Houston Texans v Jacksonville Jaguars — Sunday 18 October, Wembley Stadium
The London series concludes a week later at Wembley Stadium, where the Houston Texans face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, 18 October — again a 2:30pm kick-off. It will be the Jaguars’ second outing in the capital in the space of just eight days, underlining their status as London’s adopted NFL team.
One thing to note for this fixture: tickets are being sold directly by the Jacksonville Jaguars through their official UK channels, rather than through the NFL’s ticketing operation for the Tottenham games.
Getting tickets for the remaining games
For the Tottenham game, supporters need an NFL Ticketmaster account to buy general admission and hospitality tickets, while SportsBreaks is offering ticket-and-hotel packages for fans travelling in. This year the NFL is using “all-in pricing”, so the price you see when you start shopping already includes the mandatory fees. For the Wembley finale, head to the Jaguars’ official UK ticketing site. Availability can change quickly as the games approach, so it is worth checking the official pages for returned or newly released tickets rather than risking unofficial sellers.
If you are going to Tottenham, make sure your ticket is downloaded before you travel: there are no paper tickets for the 2026 London games, and everyone attending needs a digital ticket on their smartphone, saved into Apple Wallet or Google Pay. If anything goes wrong on the day, the ticket office at the north-west corner of the stadium on Paxton Terrace can help.
Getting to the games: transport tips
The NFL’s advice is simple: travel early. For Tottenham, White Hart Lane station on the Overground is around a five-minute walk from the ground and Northumberland Park about ten minutes, while Tottenham Hale — served by the Victoria line and National Rail — is roughly a 25-minute walk and Seven Sisters about 30 minutes. The Victoria line gets particularly busy on game days, so leave plenty of time and consider an earlier train than you think you need.
Whichever stadium you are heading to, expect enhanced security checks — the gates open two hours before kick-off — and road restrictions around the venues, so build extra time into your journey and check TfL for the latest travel information before you set off.
No ticket? Head to the free fan event in Trafalgar Square
You do not need a match ticket to soak up the NFL atmosphere in London this week. The NFL Experience London returns to Trafalgar Square on Friday, 9 October (1pm–7pm) and Saturday, 10 October (12pm–7pm), with an NFL Flag field, coaching sessions, former players, mascots and cheerleaders, plus the Vince Lombardi Trophy and a display of 60 Super Bowl rings.
Entry is free, but you need to register through the NFL OnePass app and have your QR code scanned on arrival. We have the full rundown of what is on in our guide to the free NFL fan festival taking over Trafalgar Square.
Nearly two decades of NFL in London
This month marks the latest chapter in a love affair that began in 2007, when the first regular-season NFL game was staged at Wembley. Since then London has become the league’s second home, with the purpose-built Tottenham Hotspur Stadium joining the rota and American football’s footprint growing every year — last month Wembley even hosted the first college football game ever staged in England, the Union Jack Classic between Kansas and Arizona State.
Two games, two stadiums, one unforgettable October. Whether you are heading to Tottenham, Wembley or just Trafalgar Square, London is American football’s capital this month — do not miss it.
