For the first time ever, the NFL is venturing into new territory with games in Melbourne, Australia (where the San Francisco 49ers will face the Los Angeles Rams at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground), Paris, France (at Stade de France), and Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (where the Baltimore Ravens take on the Dallas Cowboys at Maracanã Stadium). Other international stops include London (with three games split between Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium), Madrid, Spain (at the legendary Bernabéu Stadium), Mexico City (at Estadio Banorte), and Munich, Germany (at FC Bayern Munich Stadium).

As previously announced in February, the New Orleans Saints will be the host team for the Paris game at Stade de France—a thrilling opportunity for Saints fans to see their team on an international stage.
