From London to Melbourne, the NFL\u2019s global takeover continues. The Bills haven\u2019t played overseas since 2023, but another international trip will eventually come.<\/p>\n

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. \u2014 The NFL, year and year, keeps adding more international games to the schedule. As such, the use of a passport for all 32 teams and their fans is inevitable.<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Bills<\/a> last played overseas in 2023, when they lost a Week 5 “home” game to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who play at least one game \u2014 and sometimes two \u2014 in London on an annual basis. Given that, it only seems like a matter of time before the Bills play overseas again.<\/p>\n

Could that time arrive this fall or winter? To gauge the Bills’ chances, you have to know who’s already been picked to host those games.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we know about each of the NFL’s announced international games so far:<\/p>\n

Melbourne, Australia<\/a> \u2014 Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers, Week 1 at Melbourne Cricket GroundRio de Janeiro, Brazil \u2014 Dallas Cowboys vs. TBA, at Maracan\u00e3 StadiumParis, France \u2014 New Orleans Saints vs. TBA, at Stade de FranceMexico City, Mexico \u2014 San Francisco 49ers vs. TBA, at Estadio BanorteLondon, England \u2014 Jacksonville Jaguars vs. TBA, at Wembley StadiumLondon, England \u2014 Jacksonville Jaguars vs. TBA, at Tottenham Hotspur StadiumLondon, England \u2014 Washington Commanders vs. TBA, at Tottenham Hotspur StadiumMunich, Germany \u2014 Detroit Lions vs. TBA, at FC Bayern Munich StadiumMadrid, Spain \u2014 Atlanta Falcons vs. TBA, at Santiago Bernab\u00e9u Stadium <\/p>\n

The only team Buffalo is scheduled to play<\/a> on the road next season is the Rams, who already know they’re playing San Francisco in their Week 1 game Down Under in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

In other words, the Bills likely won’t need a passport to play a game next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From London to Melbourne, the NFL\u2019s global takeover continues.
