Why Show International NFL Football Games at Your Business?
The NFL continues to expand its global reach, bringing regular-season games to more fans around the world each year. Since launching the International Series in 2007, the league has hosted games in England, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and beyond. In 2026, the NFL reaches another milestone with a record-breaking nine regular-season games played across four continents and seven countries, including the league’s first-ever regular-season games in Australia and France.
International matchups create even more opportunities for football fans to gather throughout the season. For sports bars, restaurants, hotels and other businesses, that means additional chances to attract customers during early-morning kickoffs and other marquee international game windows.
