Citing the London Daily Mail, ESPN.com news services reports that the NFL will play five games in London next season.
The league, which has played at least one regular season game in London’s Wembley Stadium every year since 2007, is expected to make an official announcement soon, according to the Daily News report. However, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tells ESPN.com’s Darren Rovell that the Daily Mail’s report isn’t accurate.
If the league does indeed increase the number of overseas contests for next season, it will only add to the reportedly increasing momentum to put an NFL franchise in London.
