How do I get NFL London tickets?

There is no NFL London ticket ballot. All three 2026 games sell first come, first served at timed on-sales, so what decides whether you get in is queue position at the minute the sale opens, not a draw. The free official step that actually matters is creating the right ticketing account before the on-sale, because you cannot do it while the queue is moving. Every date and price below comes from the official NFL and Jacksonville Jaguars pages, verified on 19 July 2026.

Which NFL games are in London in 2026?

Three games across two stadiums:

  • Sunday 4 October, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: Indianapolis Colts v Washington Commanders. Run by the NFL.
  • Sunday 11 October, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: Philadelphia Eagles v Jacksonville Jaguars. Run by the NFL.
  • Sunday 18 October, Wembley Stadium: Houston Texans v Jacksonville Jaguars. Run by the Jaguars directly, not the NFL ticket office.

The Jaguars play two London home games in 2026 while EverBank Stadium is being renovated, which is why one club appears twice.

Why is there no ballot for NFL London games?

Because the NFL sells these games like a normal on-sale. None of the official pages use the words ballot, lottery or draw, and access is decided by the queue: the Tottenham ticket link feeds into a Ticketmaster virtual waiting room, which is a queue, not a random allocation.

This is worth stating plainly because the NFL genuinely did use a registration-and-random-draw model before, for Munich 2022 and Frankfurt 2023, and fans still search for the London equivalent. That model has been dropped. The only registration in the 2026 process is the free ticket account, plus optional register-of-interest email lists that tell you when a sale is coming.

How do the two ticketing systems differ?

This is the single most useful thing to understand, because the Wembley game runs on a completely different timetable from the two Tottenham games.

The NFL-run games (both Tottenham dates, plus Paris, Munich, Madrid and Rio). A free NFL Ticketmaster account is mandatory, then hospitality goes on sale first and general admission follows at a fixed time. For London 2026 hospitality opened at midday BST on 5 June and general admission at 12pm BST on 7 July. The limit is six tickets per account per game, and the NFL cancels bot purchases and duplicate accounts. From the 2026 season the NFL uses all-in pricing, so the number you see includes fees.

The Jaguars' Wembley game. Club-run, earlier, and tiered by who you are rather than when you click. Priority window 1, for previous Wembley purchasers and Jaguars season ticket holders, ran 10am BST on 15 May to 11.59pm BST on 21 May, with up to eight tickets per transaction. Priority window 2, for opposition season ticket holders and the Union Jax database, ran 22 to 28 May. General sale opened at 10am BST on 29 May, sold through eTicketing UK via jaguars.co.uk.

What do NFL London tickets cost?

For the 4 October Colts v Commanders game the official all-in range is GBP 79.13 in Category 9 up to GBP 245.65 in Category 1, with child tickets at GBP 39.89 in Category 9 and GBP 101.48 in Category 4. The 11 October Eagles v Jaguars game prices higher at the top, reaching GBP 280.65 in Category 1. The Wembley game publishes its prices on a separate seating map rather than as a summary range, with under-16 concessions in selected categories.

What is the free official route?

The free part is the registration, not the ticket. Specifically:

  1. Create the account before the on-sale. An NFL Ticketmaster account at nfl.com for the Tottenham games, or an eTicketing UK account through jaguars.co.uk for Wembley. Both are free and take a few minutes you will not have later.
  2. Join the register-of-interest list for the specific city. The NFL runs a per-game "ticket news" email signup, and it is the only official way to be told an on-sale date before it happens.
  3. Be in the queue at the minute it opens. With no draw involved, being early is the whole strategy.
  4. If the game is unavailable, wait for official resale. For Wembley the Jaguars name exactly one legitimate channel, Ticketmaster's "Last available Ticket" service, and say a date will be communicated. Anything outside the official channel is where the fakes live.

What if the game shows as sold out?

Munich 2026 is the live example of how fast this moves. Its general sale opened on 10 July as a straight first-come sale, and by 19 July nfl.com listed Munich tickets as currently unavailable while London, Paris, Madrid and Rio were still on sale. Note that the NFL does not use the words "sold out" anywhere, so unavailable is not the same as gone forever: inventory returns through official resale waves.

One caveat worth knowing if you go looking yourself: nfl.com's own sale-windows news article and its London ticket hub currently disagree about whether the 11 October Eagles v Jaguars tickets are available. The hub is the canonical ticket page and is the one to trust.

Will there be NFL London games in 2027?

Almost certainly, but no ticket process exists yet. NFL owners have approved up to 10 international games for 2027, and the Jaguars have a standing annual London home game. Host cities for 2027 and 2028 come from official multi-year commitments (Berlin 2027, Munich 2028, Melbourne 2027, plus Madrid, Mexico City and Rio), but matchups, dates and ticket windows are all unannounced. The schedule release each May is when the ticket timetable follows.

Our NFL international games page tracks what is confirmed for 2027 and 2028, and the free calendar carries every sale date we track and updates itself as windows are announced. If a first-come sale is not your thing, the guide to how ticket ballots work covers the events that do run genuine free draws.

Quick answers

Is there a ballot or lottery for NFL London tickets?

No. All three 2026 London games sell first come, first served at timed on-sales. The NFL did run registration-and-random-draw allocations for Munich 2022 and Frankfurt 2023, but that model is not in use for London.

What do I need before the on-sale opens?

A free NFL Ticketmaster account for the Tottenham games, or an eTicketing UK account via jaguars.co.uk for the Wembley game. Creating the account is free and is the one thing you cannot do at the last minute.

How many tickets can I buy?

Six per account per game for the NFL-run Tottenham games. Up to eight per transaction in the Jaguars' Wembley priority windows.

What do NFL London tickets cost?

For the 4 October Colts v Commanders game, GBP 79.13 in Category 9 up to GBP 245.65 in Category 1, all-in. The 11 October Eagles v Jaguars game runs to GBP 280.65 in Category 1. Prices include fees under the NFL's all-in pricing.

What if a game shows as unavailable?

Wait for official resale rather than the secondary market. The Jaguars name Ticketmaster's 'Last available Ticket' service as the only official resale channel for Wembley; its opening date has not been announced.
