Eagles To Take On Jaguars In London This October

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Eagles will head to London next season to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in the famous Wembley Stadium, the NFL UK announced on Thursday, Jan. 11.

According to NFL UK, the game will be played in either Week 7 on Oct. 21 or Week 8 on Oct. 28. The final date will be announced later this year.

This will mark the Birds' first time playing a regular-season game overseas, but it will be their third time playing in Wembley and their fifth international game overall.

They took on the Cleveland Browns at Wembley in 1989, and in 1991 played the Buffalo Bills there.

Other international games were in 1978 in Mexico City and in 1993 in Tokyo, both against the New Orleans Saints, the team said.

Additionally, the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders will square off at Tottenham Stadium on Oct. 14 and the Tennessee Titans-Los Angeles Chargers match up will take place at Wembley on either Oct. 21 or Oct. 28.

Game times for each contest will be announced later this year.

"We continue to be very excited by the growth of the NFL in the UK," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "The fans have demonstrated outstanding support and passion for the NFL over the past 11 seasons and we look forward to some great games in London this year."
