NFL international slate includes Melbourne, Rio and Paris. What to know about all 9 games abroad
The NFL will play a record nine games internationally this season and they include three cities hosting for the first time: Melbourne, Australia; Rio de Janeiro; and Paris. Jacksonville and San Francisco both play two games abroad: the Jaguars back-to-back in London; the 49ers in Melbourne and later in Mexico City. The NFL’s first international game of the season might be hard to top attendance-wise.
The San Francisco 49ers routed the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 on Friday in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia, and 100,021 fans were at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to watch. Here’s some information about the games and locations.
