Next season will be the first time three NFL regular-season games will be played at Wembley Stadium, including the first-ever division game in the United Kingdom, as well as games played on consecutive Sundays, also a first.
The Miami Dolphins will host the New York Jets on Oct. 4, and the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Detroit Lions on Nov. 1.
The game times will be announced at a later date.
The Jaguars, who face the Dallas Cowboys in London on Sunday, committed to playing a home game in the UK in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, all at Wembley, and will return to the UK for the third time. The Bills will make their first-ever appearance in a regular-season game in London.
Miami will play its third regular-season game in London and second as the home team, having hosted the New York Giants in 2007 and defeated the Oakland Raiders 38-14 earlier this season. The Jets will make their first appearance in the UK.
The Chiefs will also make their first trip to London and play in the franchise's first international game since a 1998 preseason contest against the Green Bay Packers in Tokyo, Japan. They host the Lions, who earned a thrilling 22-21 come-from-behind win against the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium in Week 8.
The three teams that will play regular-season games in the UK for the first time -- Buffalo, Kansas City and the New York Jets -- bring to 20 the number of different teams to play in the International Series in London since it began in 2007.
Television ratings have shown substantial growth in the UK since 2006, with Sunday viewership of NFL games doubling and the Super Bowl audience having increased 75 percent.
Participation in amateur football in the UK has risen by approximately 15 percent per year since the start of the International Series in 2007.
