Las Vegas Raiders Potentially Playing in London Next Season

The Raiders potentially could play a game in London against the Jaguars or Saints.

The Las Vegas Raiders could be playing overseas next season.

On Monday, the NFL announced that five games will be played internationally during the 2022 season. Three will be played in London, while one each will be played in Mexico City and Munich, Germany.

The international game slated in Germany, which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play as the home team, will mark the first NFL regular-season game to be played in the country.

"We are very excited to be staging five games outside the United States in 2022 and thank the clubs for their continued commitment to growing the sport internationally," NFL executive vice president of club business and league events Peter O'Reilly said via a statement. "Our fans in Germany, Mexico and the UK can look forward to seeing some of the most iconic names and biggest stars in the League and enjoying an incredible series of events."

But the Raiders were not named as “home teams” for this year’s international campaign.

However, opponents were not announced by the NFL on Monday.

The Raiders are set to play two of the teams involved, the Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints, away from Allegiant Stadium.

The Jaguars are scheduled to play at Wembley Stadium in London, while the Saints are scheduled to play in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, also in London.

While the NFL has not announced when teams opposing teams, dates and kickoff times will be just yet, it’s possible that the Silver and Black are playing overseas in 2022.
