For the second time in three years, the Denver Broncos will be heading to Europe during the NFL season with a game Oct. 12 in London against the New York Jets, the league announced Tuesday.

This year’s game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in northern London will kick off at 7:30 a.m. Mountain time. 

The Broncos’ last overseas game was in 2022 when they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars; Denver also played in London in 2010, beating the San Francisco 49ers. The Broncos have played nine games internationally.

“Broncos Country has no borders, and we join the NFL in sharing a deep commitment to growing the game on a global stage,” Broncos President Damani Leech said in a statement. “After having such a wonderful experience in London a few years ago, we can’t wait to return to the United Kingdom to engage with such passionate fans and build on the Broncos’ proud international history.”

The NFL features a record seven overseas kickoffs this season. The Minnesota Vikings get a double dip of international play in 2025 with trips to both Ireland and Britain.

The Vikings will play the Pittsburgh Steelers at Croke Park in Dublin on Sept. 28 and then they’ll fly over to London to face the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a week later on Oct. 5.

The matchups were revealed Tuesday by the NFL, the second in a series of announcements of notable games on each of the league’s broadcasters ahead of the full schedule release on Wednesday night.

That’s also when the league will announce the Los Angeles Chargers’ opponent and broadcast carrier for its first international game of the season in Brazil, on Sept. 5 at Corinthians Stadium in Sao Paulo. That’s where the Philadelphia Eagles began their Super Bowl quest last year with a game against the Green Bay Packers on opening weekend.

In other international games, the Los Angeles Rams visit the Jacksonville Jaguars a week later at Wembley Stadium in London; the Atlanta Falcons visit the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 9 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin; and the Washington Commanders visit the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 16 at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.

The six matchups that were announced will all be on NFL Network and streamed on NFL+.

The rest of the NFL regular season schedule will be released Wednesday.
