Jaguars to play 4 London games
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jaguars will play a regular-season home game at London’s Wembley Stadium each year from 2013-16, the team and the NFL announced Tuesday.
According to the team’s website, the goal is to raise the profile of the Jaguars and the community. An opponent for the 2013 game has not yet been announced.
NFL owners last October approved a resolution that authorized the league to schedule regular-season games in the United Kingdom in each of the next five years.
