One week later, the New York Giants clash with the Green Bay Packers on October 9, also at 9:30 a.m. ET at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This is Green Bay’s inaugural trip overseas.
The third London game will feature the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars on October 30 at Wembley Stadium at 9:30 a.m. ET. This is Denver’s first trip to London since 2010, while it’s Jacksonville’s eighth time in London.

The final international game will be a Monday Night Football contest on November 21 between the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City at 8:15 p.m. ET.
