NFL returns to Wembley in October 2010
After a record-breaking crowd saw the New England Patriots beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-7 last October, London will play host to another NFL International Series regular-season game this autumn.
The NFL has confirmed that the San Francisco 49ers will host the Denver Broncos in this year’s not-to-be missed clash. The game will be played at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 31 October with kick-off set for 5pm UK time (1pm Eastern Time).
The 49ers and Broncos are among the most successful franchises in NFL history, with a combined seven Super Bowl victories between them.
“For the past three years we have seen the extraordinary passion that exists for NFL football in the UK,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “We want to continue to build on that passion by strengthening our ties to our existing UK fans and creating new ones.”
The NFL is also exploring the possibility of playing a second game in the UK in 2010.
The San Francisco 49ers are five-time NFL champions, while the Denver Broncos have won two Super Bowls and appeared in the “biggest show on earth” on four other occasions. The two teams met in Super Bowl XXIV, which the 49ers won 55-10.
