Why do the Jacksonville Jaguars always play in London?

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been associated with London since 2012 when owner Shahid Khan signed a deal with the English FA to play in London for four consecutive seasons. Hence, the Jaguars played in the English soccer team's national stadium, Wembley Stadium, in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Following the success of these games, Kahn re-signed the franchise's partnership to continue to play in London through the 2020 season. The Jaguars then played one game in London every year from 2016 until 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic stopped the franchise from playing in 2020.

The Jaguars have taken a liking to playing international games in London, and due to their owners’ affinity for the English capital, they might not stop anytime soon. Moreover, it's a great way for the NFL to build its English fanbase and take American football into a dominant sporting marketplace.
