Four games in all will take place in the English capital, with the Jacksonville Jaguars taking on the Baltimore Ravens in the first matchup in either Week 3 or Week 4. This will be Jacksonville’s fifth consecutive season that includes a trip to London, while the Ravens will be playing in London for the first time ever.

The Jags notched one of their two wins this season in London when they were able to hold off the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 30-27. The game next season will take place at Wembley Stadium.

Another game will feature the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints, and that will be played in either Week 3 or Week 4, as well. This will be the Dolphins’ fourth ever trip to London, while the Saints will be making their second appearance across the pond. That game will also go down at Wembley.

Twickenham, which is a rugby stadium, will host the other two matchups in Weeks 7 and 8, respectively. One game will pit the Cleveland Browns against the Minnesota Vikings, while the other will feature an NFC West showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals.

Arizona and Cleveland will also be London debutantes.

London to Host 4 NFL Games n 2017. The NFL has released their International Series schedule for London in 2017. For the first time, the slate of games in London has been expanded to four games. The dates and times of each game will be finalized when the 2017 NFL schedule is released in the spring. Four NFL games will take place in London in 2017. View the 2017 Cleveland Browns schedule, results and scores for regular season, preseason and postseason NFL games. Three teams will play their first regular-season games in London in 2017 — the Arizona Cardinals, the visiting team against their NFC West rivals, the Los Angeles Rams at Twickenham in Week 7 or 8.

Twickenham hosted an NFL game for the first time earlier this season when the Rams lost to the New York Giants, 17-10, back in late October.

Which teams will lose a real home game?

The Jaguars, Rams, Dolphins and Browns will be the “home” teams for these games, which means they will each forfeit a home game in their actual base cities.

As touched on above, the Jaguars have long held an agreement with the NFL to “host” a game in London every season. Jacksonville ranks 26th out of the 32 teams this season so far in average attendance, drawing a little over 62,000 fans per game.

The Browns have been a garbage franchise for a number of years, so their logic must just be that it can’t possibly hurt to try and expand the fanbase. Cleveland, who appears headed for a winless 0-16 campaign, is 23rd in average attendance thus far in 2016.

The Dolphins agreed to “host” one game over in Europe when the NFL decided to award the 2020 Super Bowl to South Florida. Miami is 21st in attendance this season.

The Rams will be playing in London for the second straight year, as they agreed to do so until their new stadium in Los Angeles is completed. Construction on the new facility in Inglewood recently got underway, and it is projected to open in August of 2019.

In the meantime, the Rams have been playing at the Coliseum. Attendance has been fairly strong on the whole in their first season back in Southern California in over 20 years, though the numbers have declined of late as the team’s performance has suffered.

The Rams rank seventh in attendance at over 74,000 fans per game. Considering the Coliseum holds better than 93,000, though, that figure does not look overly impressive.

NFL history in London

The NFL has been holding at least one game in London per year since 2007, when the Giants toppled the Dolphins, 13-10. 15 of the 17 games played there thus far have drawn at least 80,000 fans to Wembley Stadium.

The four games to be held in 2017 will be the most in a single season for the NFL.

First, the good news: The NFL's 2017 International Series includes four games in London -- the most ever in one season.

The bad news: The decade's worst two teams are among the participants.

The Cleveland Browns, 1-15 last season and 29-83 since the start of the 2010 season, will make their first regular-season trip to the United Kingdom for a Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Jacksonville Jaguars, 3-13 last season and 30-82 since 2010, will take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3.

In fact, the best international NFL game this year won't take place in London at all. As the NFL attempts to build an international fan base of 200 million people, let's rank the five-game slate based on how interesting the games appear -- at least here in the third week of April. (Note: All times are ET).

1. New England Patriots vs. Oakland Raiders

Sunday, Nov. 19 (4:25 p.m.) at Estadio Azteca, Mexico City

This matchup pits the Super Bowl LI champions against a 2016 wild-card playoff team that was crippled by quarterback Derek Carr's broken leg in Week 15. Carr is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp, and with him the Raiders are probably the best team in the AFC West.

The Raiders have a huge following in Mexico, in part because of the family heritage of franchise legends Tom Flores and Jim Plunkett, and that won't change with their pending move to Las Vegas. Given its relatively late position on the schedule, this game could carry significant playoff implications.

2. New Orleans Saints vs. Miami Dolphins

Sunday, Oct. 1 (9:30 a.m.), at Wembley Stadium

2017 Nfl On Cbs Schedule

The Dolphins are an ascending team, having won nine of their final 11 games last season. Coach Adam Gase sparked Miami's first playoff appearance in eight years, and there is every reason to consider the Dolphins a playoff team in 2017. And the Saints, with quarterback Drew Brees in coach Sean Payton's offense, are never boring. Brees has thrown for at least 4,800 yards and 32 touchdowns in each of his past six seasons, and leads the league in both categories during that span by a wide margin.

3. Arizona Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Rams

Sunday, Oct. 22 (1 p.m.), at Twickenham Stadium, London

The Cardinals are giving it another go with their veteran duo of quarterback Carson Palmer, 37, and receiver Larry Fitzgerald, 33. It's fair to assume that international fans won't see them play again in London after this season. But the Cardinals have plenty of star power across their roster, from tailback David Johnson (NFL-leading 2,118 yards from scrimmage in 2016) to pass-rusher Chandler Jones to defensive backs Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook gives them 25-1 odds to win Super Bowl LII, tied for 11th-best in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Rams will also be in London for the game.

4. Baltimore Ravens vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Sunday, Sept. 24 (9:30 a.m.), at Wembley Stadium, London

The Ravens have missed the playoffs in three of four seasons since winning the Super Bowl in 2012, while the Jaguars have turned in six consecutive losing seasons. Statistically, the Jaguars do play better in London: they are 2-2 there in the past four years and 13-47 everywhere else. So there's that. As for the Ravens, you can say this much: They haven't taken their playoff absences lightly. Over the past 16 months, according to the team, it has turned over nearly 75 percent of its starting lineup. When you add those changes to the Jaguars' rehiring of Tom Coughlin, this time as executive vice president, you have reason to hope this game could be better than it appears.

5. Minnesota Vikings vs. Cleveland Browns

2017 Nfl Schedule Release

Sunday, Oct. 29 (9:30 a.m.), at Twickenham Stadium, London

Nfl 2017 London Schedule 2019

We don't know enough about the Browns' 2017 roster to know whether they'll be bad, really bad, awful or surprisingly not terrible. At the moment, though, Westgate gives them 300-1 odds to win the Super Bowl, tied for worst in the league. They did commit to pay their upgraded offensive line $57 million in cash this season, an NFL high and more than twice the league average, and they have the draft capital to add a premier defensive player and a franchise quarterback next week if they choose to. We shall see. The Vikings, meanwhile, are at the moment almost totally devoid of star power after the decision to allow tailback Adrian Peterson to test free agency.
