Talk about a great year for football fans to tune in and watch the NFL London Games. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Minnesota Vikings All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson, and Chicago Bears signal-caller (and the latest appointed savior) Caleb Williams are among the marquee names headed to the Big Smoke this fall.
The NFL has played in London regularly since 2007, with only the pandemic season in 2020 keeping teams stateside. Five teams—Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars will play two London games—are headed to the United Kingdom in the coming weeks. For our sake, let’s hope these teams bring fireworks and put up no shortage of points in London.
How to watch the NFL London Games
The NFL London Games are always an excellent change of pace, especially for those in the mood to enjoy a literal full day’s worth of football. Because of the time zone differences, all London games start at 9:30 a.m. ET / 2:30 p.m. local time.

How to live stream the 2024 NFL London Games for free
In the United Kingdom, ITV will have exclusive free coverage of two London games: the October 6 showdown between the New York Jets and the Minnesota Vikings, and the October 20 battle between the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots. ITV is not expected to air the October 13 duel between the Jaguars and Chicago Bears.
Former NFL cornerback Jason Bell and two-time Super Bowl champion defensive end Osi Umenyiora will provide live commentary. We think you’ll enjoy hearing Umenyiora—one of only five British-born players to win a Super Bowl —break down the action in real time.
Brits watching at home or while traveling abroad can connect to an ExpressVPN server in the UK to access ITV securely.
Where to watch the 2024 NFL London Games with free trials

Please note these games will all air on local networks in their respective home market. For example, you won’t need to watch the Jets-Vikings game on NFL Network if you live in New York City or Minneapolis.

NFL London Games 2024 Schedule
| Game | Date and time | Venue |
| Minnesota Vikings vs. New York Jets | October 6, 2:30 p.m. local time / 9:30 a.m. ET | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium |

The NFL London Games begin October 6, when Quinnen Williams and the Jets return to London for the first time since 2021. Barring an unexpected injury, Gang Green will have four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers under center against a familiar foe, the Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers, who spent the bulk of his career with the Green Bay Packers, owns a career 17-11-1 record against Harrison Smith’s Vikes.
United Kingdom residents have certainly gotten their share of the Jaguars over the years, who lead all teams with 11 total London games and six victories. This year, Travis Etienne Jr. and the Jags, who opened the year with three straight losses, have another two games in the UK. First, the Jaguars are the designated road team against DJ Moore’s Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 13. Let’s see how Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, the first overall pick in April’s draft, fares in his London debut.
This year’s final London Games matchup pits the Jaguars against the rebuilding New England Patriots at Wembley Stadium. Will rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who New England selected third overall last April, start for the Pats? Or are the Patriots planning on sticking with veteran Jacoby Brissett? That alone sounds like enough reason to tune into an otherwise forgettable Jaguars-Patriots game.

Ever noticed that your connection seems to slow down whenever you start streaming, causing buffering and lag? You could be the victim of activity-based ISP throttling. ExpressVPN encrypts your traffic so your ISP can’t see what you’re doing online and slow you down based on your streaming activity.
Trying to stream on a restricted network? VPN encryption allows you to stream at school or even from the office. It also keeps your data safe on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. If you have any questions about streaming NFL games (or any sports events) with a VPN, our dedicated customer support team is online 24/7 to help you out.
