The Jacksonville Jaguars are heading back across the pond in 2026, and they're bringing some serious firepower with them. In a highly anticipated matchup, the Jaguars will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 5, marking the first of two consecutive games in London.
This isn't just any regular-season game—the Eagles are widely considered a top contender in the NFC, making this a true test for Jacksonville on an international stage. The Jaguars have made London a second home over the years, playing overseas every season since 2013 (except for 2020). With a 7-7 record in those 14 games, they've shown they can compete abroad, but facing a team of Philadelphia's caliber will raise the stakes even higher.
The London adventure doesn't stop there. In Week 6, the Jaguars will host the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium in a pivotal AFC South showdown. Last season's division race between these two teams came down to the wire, so expect plenty of intensity as they renew that rivalry on foreign soil.
Playing back-to-back games in London is nothing new for Jacksonville—this will be the third time they've done so. But there's a strategic benefit beyond the football field. By playing two games in London in 2026, the Jaguars are no longer required to make the trip in 2030, two years after their stadium renovations are completed. As the team stated, "With the two games in London in 2026, this gives the Jaguars, at minimum, a critical and opportune two-week, in-season construction window."
With these games falling in Weeks 5 and 6, the Jaguars' bye week could land in Week 7, giving them a much-needed breather after the transatlantic doubleheader. For fans, it's a chance to see their team take on elite competition while enjoying the unique atmosphere of London's premier venues. Whether you're planning a trip or watching from home, this is a matchup you won't want to miss.
