NFL London Games 2018: Seattle Seahawks vs Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles vs Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans vs Los Angeles Chargers
The NFL announced the regular-season games to be played in London from Tottenham's offices today
SEATTLE and Oakland will welcome a new era of American football at Tottenham's 61-000-seat home in October.
The NFL announced the three regular-season clashes to be played in London next season from Spurs' headquarters on Thursday.
NFL international vice president Mark Waller said: “This is another important year as we develop our plans for London and the UK. By playing games on three consecutive weeks we will learn a lot, both from the fans buying tickets and attending games, and from a logistics and organisational standpoint.
“We are very excited about playing our first game at Tottenham’s magnificent new stadium and will follow our usual pattern of playing one game in our first season at a new venue, as we did at Wembley and Twickenham in previous years.
"This enables us to achieve important learnings relating to the fans’ preferences, ticketing, team logistics and local transportation and infrastructure in order to create the best possible experience and environment. We will play an additional game at Tottenham in a future season, over and above the planned two per year, to make up for this.”
WHO'S THE GOAT? Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Joe Montana... who is the best NFL quarterback ever?
Tottenham begin their 10-year deal with the NFL to host regular-season games at their new 61,000-seat stadium.
Spurs’ new home comes equipped with NFL-sized locker rooms to accommodate the larger squads, and a synthetic playing surface just for gridiron.
Wembley will also continue the host two games per season up until 2020 having began in 2007 with the New York Giants against the Miami Dolphins.
Twickenham hosted three games in the last two seasons, but is not on the schedule in 2018.
The full 2018 schedule will be announced by the league sometime around April with the season likely to start on Thursday, September 6.
This season also saw four games played in London - two at Wembley and two at Twickenham.
Jacksonville thrashed Baltimore and New Orleans shut out Miami at Wembley while the LA Rams beat Arizona and Minnesota saw off Cleveland at the home of rugby.
