Watch NFL London Games 2026 for FREE: Colts vs Commanders live streams | Daily Reports Online
Watch NFL London Games 2026 live streams as the National Football League makes its annual sojourn across the pond for a trio of games over the course of three Sundays in the UK capital.
Having already taken the jamboree to Brazil and, for the first time, Australia, the now-customary NFL International Games get a three-week residency in London, England. First up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders both make their first appearance in the UK for the first time in a decade. They have identical 1-2 season records heading into this one, but both recorded their first win of the season last week. While the Colts narrowly defeated the Houston Texans, the Commanders pulled off the shock of the season so far, prevailing 33-31 over the Seattle Seahawks. Can their stand-in veteran QB Marcus Mariota pull off another match-winning performance on Sunday?
London has become the Jacksonville Jaguars’ second home over the last few years, and in 2026 they play not one but two games. If they win this weekend they’ll take a handsome 3-1 record to the UK where they’ll come up against the high-flying Philadelphia Eagles and then, across town at Wembley Stadium, the struggling Texans. You’ll find a full schedule for the 2026 London Games below.
