The NFL was expected to have a total of five international games to be played this upcoming season. Four of the games were set to take place in London, England at both Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and one game was set to be hosted at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Mexico.

While no dates were officially announced, it was expected that the Jacksonville Jaguars were to host a pair of games at Wemblay Stadium, while the other games in London were to be hosted by the Miami Dolphins and Atlanta Falcons at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It was the Arizona Cardinals who were expected to host the game in Mexico City this year, but that game had no date or opponent officially announced.

No official date has been announced for the NFL schedule release, but the 2020 schedule is expected to be revealed by Saturday, May 9.
