JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars will play back-to-back games in London for the third time in franchise history, with the announcement coming Wednesday morning.

Jacksonville will visit the Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Oct. 11, then follow that with a home game at Wembley Stadium against the Texans on Oct. 18. Seeing the Houston game go overseas is sure to irk some Jaguars fans, as the Texans have rapidly become Jacksonville’s biggest AFC South rival. Both games will start at 9:30 a.m.

The full NFL schedule will be released on Thursday night.

Jacksonville’s 2026 season will have a different look. Capacity at EverBank Stadium has been reduced to 42,507 due to significant construction on the Stadium of the Future. The team will play 2027 home games at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, with the potential to play up to three games in London.

Jacksonville first played in London in 2013 and has played every year since, except for the 2020 pandemic-marred season. Owner Shad Khan had intended to play two home games in London that year, an announcement that drew a revolt from Jaguars fans. The Jaguars became the first team to play back-to-back international games in 2023 when they hosted the Falcons at Wembley Stadium and then traveled to face the Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They did another back-to-back London home and away games in 2024, losing to the Bears, and then topping the Patriots.

The Jaguars got walloped in their only London game last year by the Rams. The Jaguars are 7-7 all-time in London games. Jacksonville has played double the number of international games than the next-closest team (the Dolphins have played in seven).
