London Calling: Permanent NFL Team by 2028?
The NFL has played regular-season games in London since 2007, with the Jacksonville Jaguars playing annually at Wembley. This prediction asks if the league will officially announce a permanent London-based franchise before the end of 2028.
Logistics vs. Revenue
The 'No' vote leads due to the persistent logistical nightmare: travel fatigue, tax implications for players, and playoff scheduling. While revenue potential is massive, the league has recently pivoted toward a 'global markets' strategy (marketing rights for existing teams) rather than relocation. However, the Jaguars' stadium renovations and the owner's ties to London keep the 'Yes' possibility alive. An announcement by 2028 would likely target a launch in the early 2030s.
