The full, 256-game NFL schedule won’t be announced until April. Some of those 256 games will be announced today.
The NFL has announced that the games to be played in London next season will be unveiled Wednesday, at 9:30 a.m. ET.
A PFT reader in England who tipped us off to the looming announcement has also suggested that the following four games will be announced: Packers at Washington; Colts at Jaguars; Jaguars at Chargers (at Twickenham); and Eagles at Bengals. (That’s not a firm report, but the guy was right that the announcement is coming today, so let’s see if he’s right about the four matchups.)
The window for playing the games is expected to be October 9 through November 6. If the Jaguars play twice in London, it will mean that they won’t have a bye week after one of the two games.
Over the past few years, there have been periodic rumors of the Jaguars playing a second game in London, via a road game to go along with the home game they play there every year. There’s a chance those rumors will finally come to fruition.
Either way, we’ll know within an hour.
UPDATE 9:33 a.m. ET: Well, the PFT reader was close. The official slate of games is Colts at Jaguars, Washington at Bengals, and an NFC East opponent at the Rams (at Twickenham).
