KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NFL announced Monday that it will schedule all of its 2020 games in the United States and in teams' own stadiums in order to focus on the well-being of players, personnel and fans.
“After considerable analysis, we believe the decision to play all our games domestically this season is the right one for our players, our clubs, and all our fans in the US, Mexico and UK,” said NFL Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer Christopher Halpin. “We greatly appreciate the support of our governmental and stadium partners in Mexico and the United Kingdom, who all agree with this decision, and we look forward to returning for games in both countries in the 2021 season."
The NFL had been planning to play one game in Mexico City at Azteca Stadium and four games in London during the 2020 season. The Cardinals, Falcons, Jaguars and Dolphins had all previously announced that they would be home teams for International Series Games in 2020.
The NFL schedule is due out some time this week.
