2025 NFL schedule: Predicting every matchup for all seven international games being played this season

Our Summary
In 2025, the NFL will hold a record seven international games, expanding from a maximum of five. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell envisions eventually reaching 16 games abroad. The upcoming games will debut in cities like Dublin, Madrid, and Berlin. In London, the Jaguars, Browns, and Jets will host games, with potential opponents forecasted based on team history and marquee matchups. Dublin will see the Steelers play, likely against the Vikings or Seahawks. The Dolphins in Madrid could face headline-worthy teams, possibly the Commanders or Bengals. Berlin features the Colts, while Sao Paulo will host the Chargers, potentially against the Chiefs or Commanders. The NFL aims to avoid divisional matchups abroad, continuing a trend since 2019. The full schedule, including these games, will be announced on May 14.
