The NFL revealed on Tuesday the participants in this season’s international games in Ireland, England, Germany and Spain.
The league previously announced that the Los Angeles Chargers will open the season at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Sept. 5, but their opponent won’t be known until Wednesday’s full schedule release.
The Minnesota Vikings will become the first team to play back-to-back international contests in different countries, facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin on Sept. 28 at Croke Park before playing the Cleveland Browns at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Oct. 5.
“Playing in Ireland’s first-ever NFL game is an opportunity to introduce new fans to the Minnesota Vikings and help the league continue to make the game of football more accessible globally,” Vikings owner Mark Wilf said in a statement. “To do so against a storied franchise like the Pittsburgh Steelers adds a unique challenge that makes this even more special. We are honored to be selected for this historic game and will be anxious to see what promises to be an electric game day environment in Croke Park.”
Action continues in London on Oct. 12 with the Denver Broncos facing the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, followed by the Los Angeles Rams taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 19.
The scene shifts to Germany on Nov. 9 with the Atlanta Falcons meeting the Indianapolis Colts at historic Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
Finally, the NFL travels to Spain on Nov. 16 where the Washington Commanders will clash with the Miami Dolphins at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
All of the announced international meetings will air on NFL Network.
The full NFL schedule will be released on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network.
