Eagles To Take On Jaguars Oct 28 In London

PHILADELPHIA – A date for the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles versus Jacksonville Jaguars game in London, England has been set, the NFL announced Thursday.

The game will be played at 9:30 a.m. eastern standard time on Sunday, Oct. 28 at Wembley Stadium in London.

Fans can watch the Week 8 game on the NFL Network.

Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is a London native himself. The Eagles shared a video of Ajayi talking about the upcoming trip to London, which is posted below.

This will mark the Birds' first time playing a regular-season game overseas, but it will be their third time playing in Wembley and their fifth international game overall.

They took on the Cleveland Browns at Wembley in 1989, and in 1991 played the Buffalo Bills there.

Other international games were in 1978 in Mexico City and in 1993 in Tokyo, both against the New Orleans Saints, the team said.

Additionally, the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders will square off at Tottenham Stadium on Oct. 14 and the Tennessee Titans-Los Angeles Chargers match up will take place at Wembley on either Oct. 21.

The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the St. Louis Rams at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on Nov. 19, as well.

We continue to be very excited by the growth of the NFL in the UK," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "The fans have demonstrated outstanding support and passion for the NFL over the past 11 seasons and we look forward to some great games in London this year."
