The NFL officially released<\/a> its international schedule for the 2026 football season on Wednesday morning, with nine games set on the slate. The games will take place in Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, London (x3), Paris, Madrid, Munich, and Mexico City.<\/p>\n

A total of 16 teams will be playing outside of the United States this season, with the San Francisco 49ers and the Jacksonville Jaguars playing two international games.<\/p>\n

Heading into the summer, there are 18 former Tennessee players slated for those nine international games. That likely won\u2019t be the case when the actual season starts, though, considering that some of those players may not make the final roster cuts and some might be practice-squad players. But as things stand right now, there are 18 VFLs in the mix for those nine games.<\/p>\n

Note: One interesting aspect of the Vikings-Niners game is that it was originally slated as a home game for San Francisco. With it now taking place in Mexico, VFL and former S.F. receiver Jauan Jennings won\u2019t be returning to his former home this season, barring some sort of postseason matchup between the two sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton III.
