Windy City Gridiron
The 2025 NFL International series of games has concluded, and as expected, it was a big success. The six games on the NFL Network averaged 6.2 million viewers* (TV+Digital), ranking as the most-watched NFL Network International Games season average to date, and is up a whopping +32% over last year’s slate of international games.
The three games in London, one in Dublin, one in Berlin, and one in Madrid were a huge hit for the league and for fans, and the 2026 season may see even more games played internationally. Already confirmed for next year are games in Australia, Mexico City, and Brazil, with London a sure bet to host some as well.
This will be your open thread to talk about all the games from Thursday Night Football through Sunday afternoon, then Sunday Night Football, and finally back here for Monday Night Football.
