Is there an NFL international game today? NFL Week 8 schedule

The NFL is back on the road in 2026, delivering a record nine international games across seven countries and four continents.

From Melbourne and Rio de Janeiro to London, Paris, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City, the league’s global tour is bringing American football to fans around the world. Of course, that also means early-morning kickoffs for stateside fans.

Six international games have already been played, and they've delivered plenty of memorable moments. The San Francisco 49ers spoiled the Los Angeles Rams’ Australian debut with a convincing 27-7 victory in Melbourne, while the Baltimore Ravens edged the Dallas Cowboys 34-31 in a thriller in Rio. London then hosted three games, including a dramatic finish between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars, before the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the New Orleans Saints in Paris in Week 7.

But the international action isn't over just yet. Madrid, Munich and Mexico City remain on the itinerary, giving fans three more opportunities to watch the NFL take center stage overseas.

So, is there an early NFL international game this week? Here's where and when the international games will be played, along with the remaining matchups.
