NFL coming to Australia? ( It’s official a NFL game will be play in Melbourne, Australia in 2026)

If we're going that far might as well go to Japan. They love football over there.

I think a World Baseball Classic type tournament would be cool. The biggest obstacle with growing the NFL brand internationally is the players themselves. If its not an official NFL game that counts toward the season, then you wont have top talent participating. Its just not worth the risk. A global tournament every 3-4 years under the NFL mark or a sub brand, the IFL if you will, could be a cool way to grow the brand and be a spotlight for international players that would otherwise go unknown. That way you aren't stretching the main product too thin while still allowing international talent to prepare for years to put on the best football games possible. Do it in the Spring so it doesn't take away from the NFL season.
