The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 28 from Wembley stadium as part of the NFL announcing the continuation of the International Series.

The Jaguars have been the host team for the NFL the last five seasons, having begun play overseas for at least one game a year since 2012. Team owner Shad Khan and the NFL negotiated a deal that has the Jaguars playing a game overseas through the 2020 season. Jacksonville has won their last three contests across the pond.
