The NFL comes to London
When the Baltimore Ravens travelled to London in 2017 and 2023 to face the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans, their most important staff, including cheerleaders, band members, and key personnel, made The Athenaeum Hotel their London home.
Our central Mayfair location proved invaluable, allowing the team to explore London's iconic landmarks with ease during their downtime. From Buckingham Palace to the West End, everything was just moments away. And their arrival? Absolutely spectacular! They travelled in style, making an entrance befitting true champions.
NFL London Games 2025
The NFL London Games have become a cornerstone of the UK sports calendar, drawing passionate fans from across Europe to experience American football in world-class venues. These matchups deliver electrifying atmosphere, cutting-edge facilities, and unforgettable sporting moments at iconic stadiums, including Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium.
Attending an NFL game in London transcends the on-field action. The pre-game experience bursts with energy; fan rallies, interactive zones, authentic American tailgating culture, and vibrant entertainment create an immersive atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to the sport, the buzz around the stadiums, official NFL merchandise, and passionate crowds make for an extraordinary experience.
In 2025, the NFL hosted three games in London: New York Jets vs. Minnesota Vikings on October 6th, Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears on October 13th, and New England Patriots vs. Jacksonville Jaguars on October 20th. And we are anticipating the fixtures ahead in 2026 and 2027.
