If you're hoping to catch every NFL international game in person in 2026, then hopefully you have your passport ready to go. The league announced all nine NFL International Series games on Wednesday, which will mark the most international games the league has played in a single season. With more games being played internationally than ever, there are also a few places that will host an NFL game that have never hosted an NFL game before. Australia, Rio de Janeiro and France will all host their first NFL games in 2026. The first international game will take place in Week 1, while the last will be held in Week 11. And half of the league's teams will play an international game in 2026, as two teams will play two games outside the country. So, here's a full look at the nine games that will be a part of the NFL's international slate in 2026. The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams will begin the NFL's international slate for the 2026 season in Week 1, playing in the league's first game in Australia. The game, which will be played at Melbourne Cricket Ground, has unique timing, though. It'll kick off at around 10:35 a.m. in Melbourne on Friday, Sept. 11. That means the game will begin on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 8:35 p.m. ET. It's a rare divisional matchup that'll be played overseas, but it just means the stakes will be higher. Both the 49ers and Rams contended for the NFC West title late into the season in 2025, with Los Angeles reaching the NFC Championship Game. Heading into 2026, each team figures to contend for the NFC West crown again as the Rams are currently the Super Bowl favorites. The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys will play in the NFL's first game in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, Sept. 27. It actually marks the third game the NFL has played in Brazil, though, as the league had Week 1 matchups at So Paulo's Corinthians Arena in each of the last two seasons. While both teams missed the playoffs in 2025, both the Ravens and Cowboys are playoff hopefuls who've had eventful offseasons. Baltimore made a coaching change, hiring Jesse Minter to replace long-time head coach John Harbaugh. Dallas, meanwhile, made a handful of moves on defense, including the selection of Ohio State safety Caleb Downs in the NFL Draft. Of course, this game will also feature two of the league's top quarterbacks, with Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott going head-to-head. The Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders will play the first of the NFL's three games in London in 2026. This matchup will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 4. Both the Colts and Commanders are seeking to bounce back from campaigns in 2025 that were derailed by injuries. Indianapolis actually had the inside track to win the AFC South for much of the season, but quarterback Daniel Jones tore his Achilles late in the year. Washington, meanwhile, will have quarterback Jayden Daniels back as it hopes to reach the status it was at in 2024, when it reached the NFC Championship Game. This will mark the first of two games for the Jacksonville Jaguars in London this season, playing the Philadelphia Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 11. Both the Eagles and Jaguars made the postseason in 2025. Philadelphia has been a mainstay postseason contender since 2021, but Jacksonville had a surprise year in 2025, going 13-4 in Liam Coen's first year as head coach. The Jaguars will be the designated home team again when they play in London for a second straight week in Week 6. However, their matchup against the Houston Texans will take place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 18. While the Jaguars have played back-to-back games in England twice before, this will be the first time they've had two designated home games in London in the same season. It's also just the second time that they'll face a division rival in an international game, facing the Texans in London in 2019. This matchup could have major postseason implications, as the Jaguars and Texans finished first and second, respectively, in the AFC South last season. The two teams split the 2025 season series. The NFL is heading to France for the first time ever in 2026. The Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the New Orleans Saints at Stade de France in Paris on Sunday, Oct. 25. Pittsburgh might be led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers as he remains unsigned, although most have speculated that he'll be the Steelers' starting quarterback again in 2026. New Orleans, meanwhile, will be led by second-year quarterback Tyler Shough, who helped the Saints go on a four-game win streak late last season. The Saints made sure to build around him over the offseason as well, adding running back Travis Ettiene and wide receiver Jordyn Tyson. The NFL's second-ever game in Madrid will feature a pair of exciting offenses. The Cincinnati Bengals will take on the Atlanta Falcons in Spain on Sunday, Nov. 8. This will be Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's first international game, as Cincinnati hasn't had an international game since 2019. As for the Falcons, they played the Indianapolis Colts in Germany last season. Will Michael Penix Jr. be starting for the Falcons this time around, or will newcomer Tua Tagovailoa have the starting job? The New England Patriots and Detroit Lions will go head-to-head at FC Bayern Munich Stadium in Munich on Sunday, Nov. 15. It's the third game the league has played in Munich. For New England, this will actually be its second trip to Germany. The Patriots faced the Colts in Frankfurt in 2023. It'll also mark the Patriots' third international game in four seasons, facing the Jaguars in London during the 2024 season. As for the Lions, this will be their first international game since 2015. This will also mark just the eighth time that one of the Super Bowl participants from the previous season will be in an international game since the league started to regularly play international games in 2007. New England is seeking to get back to the Super Bowl in 2026 after losing to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX as part of its surprise 2025 season. Detroit, meanwhile, is hoping its 2025 season was a one-off. The Lions went 9-8 in 2025, missing the playoffs for the first time in three years and establishing themselves as a Super Bowl contender in the two seasons prior. The NFL's international series for the 2026 season will conclude when the Minnesota Vikings take on the San Francisco 49ers at Estadio Azteca on Sunday, Nov. 22. It marks the first game that the NFL has played in Mexico since 2022, which also featured the 49ers. On top of that, San Francisco will also become the first team to play two international games in nonconsecutive games in NFL history. As for Minnesota, this will mark the third straight season it has played an international game. It actually played in two international games last season as well, playing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, before facing the Cleveland Browns in London, England.

Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh appeared to respond to the growing criticism on social media following PBKS poor run of form in IPL 2026, backing the stance recently taken by franchise co-owner Preity Zinta and the team management against misinformation and fake narratives online.Punjab Kings have endured a dramatic mid-season collapse after enjoying a seven-match unbeaten streak that included six wins and one no-result. The side has now suffered four consecutive defeats, putting their playoff hopes under pressure and attracting heavy scrutiny online.The 25-year-old batter, who has been one of PBKS key performers over the past few seasons, posted an Instagram story seemingly aimed at shutting down criticism surrounding his fitness and form. The post featured a picture displaying his physique along with a shushing emoji, a move many fans interpreted as a direct response to the narratives circulating on social media. ImTanujSingh (@ImTanujSingh) Earlier, Preity Zinta strongly criticised the spread of fake narratives surrounding the team and urged media professionals and social media users to act responsibly before amplifying unverified reports.Theres a difference between criticism and calculated misinformation. Healthy debate around the game is welcome, but the deliberate spread of fake narratives to damage individuals, the team, or the brand should not and will not be taken lightly, Zinta wrote on X. realpreityzinta (@realpreityzinta) PBKS also issued a similar statement urging everyone to "verify facts before spreading misinformation for attention or traction"."Criticism, banter, and opinions are part of sport. Fake stories and made-up narratives for cheap engagement are not. We urge everyone to verify facts before spreading misinformation for attention or traction," the franchise posted. PunjabKingsIPL (@PunjabKingsIPL) Despite his recent dip in form, Prabhsimran remains Punjab Kings second-highest run-scorer this season with 382 runs in 10 innings at an average of 42.44 and a strike rate of 169.02, including four half-centuries. Only Cooper Connolly has scored more runs for PBKS this season, with 415 runs in 10 innings.Punjab Kings now face a must-win clash against Mumbai Indians in Dharamshala as they attempt to revive their campaign and remain inside the top four. With Mumbai already eliminated from playoff contention, PBKS will hope to avoid another setback in what has become a tense playoff race.

Just over a year ago, ahead of the 2025 Masters, all the world of golf could discuss was Rory McIlroy completing the career Grand Slam. It was a feat he ultimately achieved, with the Briton going on to make it back-to-back green jackets.With this year's PGA Championship, meanwhile, brief discussions have been had with Jordan Spieth matching the Northern Irishman's feat and becoming the seventh player to complete the career Grand Slam in the men's game.Spieth, 32, has been in and out of form coming into this tournament in recent years, but admitted he is getting "close" to the level he played at during his early success.The American finished second in 2015, losing to Jason Day, but the key for the 32-year-old this time, as he highlighted speaking to the media, is to give himself a "chance".TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour Say. Judging by his form coming into the competition, he certainly will.The former Masters champion has only missed the cut at the Phoenix Open this year, reaching the weekend in 11 out of 12 tournaments and recording five top 20 finishes.His T12 at the Masters and T18 at the Cadillac Championship a couple of weeks ago could be signs that Spieth is able to contend at majors again.Since surgery on his wrist at the end of August in 2024, the American has been rebuilding his game, using a recent time cooking as an analogy for his journey back to the form golfing fans know he is capable of.Spieth said: "I was smoking chicken in the fall on a big smoker I have, and it got up to 155 quickly and then takes a while. I was like, man, this kind of feels like what I was working on [with swing] stuff, and I was. It kind of feels like what I'm trying to do in the swing."LATEST SPORTS NEWSEmma Raducanu makes big decision just weeks before French OpenRory McIlroy takes drastic step after PGA Championship injury scareLuis Suarez to miss World Cup as brutal decision made on Barcelona and Liverpool iconThe American continued: "I go play, and it's a little bit out of the barriers that we call sustainable. Kind of outside the margins that we call okay. "If it's that way for everybody and just seemed that way for me right now, where, it's there. It's like close. It's matching what I want to do. It feels good, and it's producing right stuff."Spieth's stats back up his words, with the American driving the ball better and making 0.333 strokes off the tee in his last five starts.He ranks 31st in strokes gained across the rest of the PGA Tour, slotting him well in the contending zone for another major.But the focus for the American will be on keeping consistent throughout and ensuring he is in touching distance of the leading pack.The 32-year-old explained: "It's a whack-a-mole situation because I have had weeks where I'm leading in putting, weeks where I've leading in driving, weeks where I am leading in ball-striking, and then I just haven't been able to kind of put them all together."The good news is within this season I've been able to lead in each [category], so I should be confident that I have at least each part of the game as a weapon."It's just focusing on the right things, putting it together, limiting the mistakes, and then when something feels a little bit off, managing to be able to shoot a couple under par versus a couple over par."Outside of Spieth's control is the competition around him, of which there is plenty, with several players bang in form.Scottie Scheffler returns as the defending champion, with the American also just one major away from completing the career Grand Slam, but he will have to wait till next month at the US Open to get his shot.Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick has been one of the standouts on the tour, coming second at the Players Championship, winning the Valspar Championship, RBC Heritage, and the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with his brother Alex Fitzpatrick.McIlroy will, of course, be in contention if he can nurse his toe injury after abandoning his practice session on Tuesday. Other names that will be in contention include Tommy Fleetwood, red-hot Cameron Young and LIV's Bryson DeChambeau, who has finished second at this competition in the past couple of years.Spieth, however, knows he has a shot. He said: "If I can win one more tournament in my life, it would obviously be this one for that reason. "But the easiest way to do that is to not try to, in a weird way, you know. Just go out and get ready for the first hole, get a good game plan in and attack it the way it needs to be attacked." The American is partnered up with McIlroy and Spaniard Jon Rahm for their first round tee times.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
