The first two games of the NFL’s International Series will be played at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and they will be followed by two games at Wembley Stadium.
The first game will see the Chicago Bears take on the Oakland Raiders on Sunday October 6.
This will be the first NFL match to be played at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it will also be the first game to be played in a purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the United States.
The second game at Spurs’ stadium will be the Carolina Panthers against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 13.

The NFL’s International Series will be completed on November 18, when the Kansas City Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers in Mexico City.
Tottenham’s 62,062-seater stadium was due to host NFL games last season, as part of a decade long agreement with the league, however, delays to construction saw games being switched back to Wembley.
This resulted in many criticising the state of the pitch following four NFL games being played at Wembley.
To solve this issue, Tottenham have included a retractable pitch for NFL games as part of the design of their new stadium.
The fully retractable grass surface will be used for football matches whilst the artificial pitch underneath will be used for NFL games, along with music concerts and other events.
Following the 2019 games, a total of 31 of the 32 NFL teams will have played games in London.
