Will the Raiders be playing overseas this season?

Updated May 10, 2023 - 12:59 pm

The Raiders learned on Wednesday that they won’t play overseas in one of the five international games this season — three in London, two in Germany — nor will they play in the first Black Friday game.

Of the London games, the Falcons play the Jaguars in Week 4; the Jaguars play the Bills in Week 5; and the Ravens play the Titans in Week 6.

The Jaguars playing back-to-back games in London appears to be a test study of how teams handle spending multiple weeks overseas. With the NFL eyeing the potential of situating a team in London, the logistics of such a decision creates so many unknowns. This gives the league a chance to monitor that dynamic.

The games in Germany will be the Dolphins vs. Chiefs in Week 9 and the Colts vs. Patriots in Week 10.

The Dolphins will play at the Jets in the Black Friday game.

The NFL also announced the Chiefs will host the Bengals on New Year’s Eve in a rematch of the AFC championship game, and the Giants will host the Eagles on Christmas Day.

The complete NFL schedule will be released Thursday.
