“We continue to be very excited by the growth of the NFL in the UK,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
“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. A key feature of our success is playing in iconic, world-renowned venues like Wembley and Twickenham, and we look forward to playing in what will be another incredible setting for NFL football at Tottenham’s new stadium.”
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan added: “I’m delighted Tottenham Hotspur’s fantastic new stadium is joining the line-up of world-class sports arenas in our great city. Spurs’ new ground will stage one game in its first year of opening and in 2019 we look forward to going back to staging at least four NFL games in London.”
By the end of the 2018 season, the NFL will have played 24 regular-season games in London, with 29 of 32 teams having participated.
