The NFL confirmed the home teams for the four games in Europe next year – three in London, England and one in Munich, Germany.

The Panthers, who finished 2-15 this season, will take on an opponent to be announced at a later date likely in November.

Last year the NFL held two games in Germany on back-to-back weekends in Frankfurt.

But for 2014 they’ve dropped it back to one while moving the other to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

And it’s back to Munich for the NFL – which hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Seattle Seahawks in 2022.

London will once again host three games in 2024 as it did during the 2023 campaign.

NFC North rivals the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings will stage home games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, meanwhile, will return to Wembley Stadium in 2024.

The Jags will play their 12th game in London having visited twice last year.

Jacksonville won both of those fixtures – a home game against the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley and an away clash against the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham.

Dates and opponents for the games will be announced at a later date.

NFL has played regular-season games in London dating back to 2007.

Last year there were three games on back-to-back weekends in October across Wembley and Spurs.

The game at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil marks a first foray into South America for the NFL.

There is still no game in Mexico City, as was the case last year, due to stadium renovations ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
