History of NFL in London
The NFL first started playing regular season games in London in 2007. Since then, the league has continued to grow its presence in the UK, with games taking place every year since. This year, there are four NFL London games scheduled, the most ever.
The NFL’s London games are typically held at Wembley Stadium, one of the UK’s most iconic sporting venues. However, this year’s games will be spread out across three different stadiums: Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and an all-new addition, Emirates Stadium.
The four teams scheduled to play in London this year are the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This will be the Panthers’ and Buccaneers’ first ever appearances in London, while the Bears and Bengals have each played one game in the UK before.
While the NFL has seen strong growth in its London fan base over the past decade, there are still many who are unfamiliar with the sport. If you’re one of those people, here’s a quick overview of what you can expect to see at an NFL game.
The game is played on a field that is 100 yards long and 53 yards wide. There are two end zones at each end of the field where points can be scored. The team with the most points at the end of four 15-minute quarters wins the game.
Each team has 11 players on the field at a time. The offense tries to advance the ball down the field by either running with it or throwing it to a teammate; while the defense tries to stop them by tackling them or intercepting their passes. Once a team gets close enough to score (inside their opponent’s 20-yard line), they have a choice of kicking a field goal for three points or trying for a touchdown by running or passing into the endzone for six points. There are also two-point conversions which can be attempted after a touchdown is scored (by either running or passing from inside your opponent’s two-yard line).
So there you have it! A quick introduction to American football and what you can expect to see at an NFL game in London this year.
