The NFL is coming to Australia! In an announcement on Thursday morning NFL Executive Vice President, Peter O'Reilly confirmed the competition will be coming Down Under in 2026 as part of a multi-year deal for games to be played in Melbourne.

The article from MSN discusses the NFL's plans to expand its international presence by hosting a regular-season game in Australia. This initiative is part of the NFL's broader strategy to grow its global fanbase, following similar efforts in countries like the UK, Germany, and Mexico.
