Head of NFL Europe & UK Brett Gosper says London can expect to host a minimum of three games per season going forward.

Shahid Khan, who owns the Jaguars and Championship leaders Fulham, said of the announcement: “It’s a great pleasure to be able to announce that the Jacksonville Jaguars will be playing one home game per season at Wembley for three further seasons.

“It’s hard to believe it will have been three years since our last game at Wembley. But that changes this autumn, and we look forward to coming back to our London home.

“We have built a great fanbase already in the UK and I look forward to that increasing as we reaffirm our commitment to playing one home game per season in the UK for the long term, as was always the ambition when we first played in 2013.”
