The Jacksonville Jaguars will play twice in London in 2023 — a first for an NFL team — and the Miami Dolphins will face the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in a marquee matchup of the NFL international games announced Wednesday by the league.

The Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts were added to the list of teams playing outside the United States next season, joining the Jaguars, Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots, who were previously announced as home teams in European games.

The international slate will kick off in London with a Week 4 clash between the Falcons and Jaguars on Oct. 1 at Wembley Stadium that will air exclusively on ESPN+. The Jaguars will play their second game in London a week later when they take on the Bills on Oct. 8 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Titans and Ravens will play the final London game on the schedule on Oct. 15 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This marks the Ravens’ second international game after getting blown out by the Jaguars 44-7 in 2017, which tied the largest defeat in team history.

“We have staged games in London since 2007, with interest and momentum in the sport here in the U.K. rising year on year, and look forward to giving fans the best NFL experience yet in 2023,” NFL U.K. general manager Henry Hodgson said.

Germany will host the remaining two NFL games in Europe: a Week 9 meeting between the Dolphins and Chiefs on Nov. 5 and a matchup between the Colts and Patriots on Nov. 12. Both games will be played at Frankfurt Stadium.
