The league announced on Thursday that the Bills and Titans had been earmarked as designated teams to play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time later this year, with their respective opponents to be named in due course.

As expected, the Jaguars will also be returning to their second home at Wembley Stadium for the 10th time for another regular-season contest in the autumn.

The NFL also confirmed that Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots would be heading to Germany for separate outings as part of the expanding international schedule that this year stands at five games.

There are no contests planned in Mexico for 2023 due to scheduled renovations at the Estadio Azteca, which is a host venue for the 2026 football World Cup.

“Growing the league and our sport internationally is a major strategic priority for the NFL, and we are excited to again be playing five games outside of the United States in 2023,” said Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s executive vice-president of club business, major events and international.

“We know how important live regular season games are to our passionate global fans and we thank our clubs for their strong, long-term commitment to this important initiative. Interest in our game globally is at an all-time high, and we look forward to returning to the UK and Germany in 2023 with some of the most iconic clubs and stars in the NFL.”

UK fans will be delighted to see the return of the Bills, who remain among the favourites for the Super Bowl this season after edging the depleted Miami Dolphins 34-31 in an initial playoff test that proved much trickier than expected on Super Wild Card Weekend.
