- What else?
The NFL is back in town for an October takeover. London welcomes some of the league's superstars to its shores while playing stage to three regular season games across Wembley and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over three consecutive weeks.
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Trevor Lawrence are all in action for another bumper UK schedule, before the baton is passed to Frankfurt for two Germany games in November as the league continues to showcase its global expansion.
It marks the 16th year that a regular season game has been played in London since the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins in the first back in 2007, 2020 being the only year not to have hosted a game due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Long before the days of International regular season games, the UK notably hosted eight American Bowl pre-season exhibition games at Wembley between 1968 and 1993.
By Week Eight of the 2007 campaign, the Giants were moving to 6-2 with a 13-10 win over the Dolphins on their way towards winning Super Bowl XLII later that season.
2023 NFL International Games schedule
The league returns in 2023 having now played 33 regular season games in London after completing the clean sweep of teams last year as the Green Bay Packers became the 32nd and final franchise to make the trip across the pond, led by Aaron Rodgers in their defeat to the Giants in front of a raucous Tottenham crowd.
The NFL recently announced the extension of its partnership with Tottenham Hotspur that will see the Spurs stadium host two regular-season games each year through to the end of the 2029-30 season.
As part of the new deal Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the only purpose-built stadium for NFL games outside of the US, has now been given the official status as the 'home of the NFL' in the UK.

Jacksonville Jaguars
After something of a null and void rookie season under Urban Meyer, Trevor Lawrence's NFL story finally got underway last year as the most highly regarded college quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck lifted the Jags to their first playoff berth since the 2017 campaign. The introduction of Doug Pederson would prove instrumental in allowing Lawrence the true transition he had lacked in 2021, a highlight coming during Wild Card weekend when he led the Jags to victory over the Chargers having trailed 27-7 at half-time.
Lawrence returns to London armed with a new star receiver in former Falcons man Calvin Ridley, who has resumed his career after missing the entire 2022 season through suspension. Ridley features in an offense that also includes tight end Evan Engram along with 1,000-yard receiver Christian Kirk and dual-threat running back Travis Etienne. On defense lies 2022 No 1 overall draft pick Travon Walker alongside veteran edge rusher Josh Allen and second-year linebacker Devin Lloyd.
The Jaguars have endured a difficult start to the new season after suffering successive defeats to the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and rebuilding Houston Texans having beaten the Indianapolis Colts in Week One. They are 4-5 in London, where they have lost three of their lost four games since 2018.
Atlanta Falcons
Arthur Smith is primed to shove the running game down the throat of Pederson's Jaguars. This season is about learning whether second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder can be the man to guide Atlanta forward, having only been given a mere cameo towards the back end of last year after taking over as starter from Marcus Mariota. His job is helped by the presence of a three-pronged ground attack made up of 1,000-yard rusher Tyler Allgeier, Cordarrelle Patterson - on his way back from injury - and all-action rookie sensation Bijan Robinson, who was drafted at eighth overall in April and is favourite to collect Rookie of the Year. Through the air Ridder will have Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts at his disposal, the latter of whom starred with 119 receiving yards and a touchdown when Atlanta beat the New York Jets 27-20 at Tottenham two years ago.
The NFL returns to Germany for a second year following the roaring success of its maiden regular-season game in mainland Europe in 2022 when Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Seattle Seahawks in Munich last November.
The Dolphins are scheduled to meet the Super Bowl champion Chiefs at the Frankfurt Stadium on November 5, with the same venue also playing stage to the Colts against the New England Patriots on November 12 as part of Frankfurt's rotation with Munich.

Hear from Sky Sports NFL's Neil Reynolds and Jeff Reinebold on Inside the Huddle as they break down the biggest storylines from around the NFL while discussing all three London games.
Neil Reynolds: "There's something special in the air, there's just a little different smell in the air when the NFL is in town."
Jeff Reinebold: "I think it's the best pro football environment next to the Super Bowl that I've experienced.
"The amount of electricity that comes to town and all the things going on, how the fans come from everywhere across Europe to watch these games and be a part of the circus that only the NFL can provide.
"I remember when we did the tailgate at Wembley, to stand on that stage and see the sea of people out there, it was awesome. For guys like us who have a historical context of the game in the UK, it's just incredible."
