The National Football League has committed to playing regular season games internationally, and it says Canada is one of the countries it’s focused on.
Changes are coming to the NFL schedule structure for the first time since 1978. The league announced that beginning in 2021, each team will play 17 regular season games (up from 16) and three preseason games (down from four).
The official schedule will be announced later this spring, but the 2021 NFL regular season will kick off on September 9, with Super Bowl LVI scheduled for February 13, 2022 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
As part of what the NFL is calling its new “enhanced season,” it announced that beginning in 2022, up to four neutral site games will be scheduled each year outside of the United States. The focus initially will be on Canada, Europe, Mexico, South America, and the United Kingdom, the NFL said.

Globalization is a key component of professional sports leagues around the world and the National Football League is no exception, despite its reputation as a U.S.-centric league, which stems in part from its smaller slate of international players compared with other major North American competitions.
In recent years the league has looked to reach further overseas and attempt to close that gap with a number of global initiatives.
Ahead of the announcement of 11 players invited for this year’s International Player Pathway Program, The Japan Times spoke with Damani Leech, the chief operating officer of NFL International, to discuss the league’s international strategies and its growing efforts in the Japanese market.

Since Mario Cristobal first moved to Eugene to become a part of the Oregon Ducks football program, he has established a tradition of landing either highly-rated or gigantic junior college offensive linemen.
It began in the class of 2017 with the addition of 6-foot-7, 310-pound offensive tackle George Moore, continued in the class of 2019 with 6-foot-7, 345-pound offensive lineman Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu and took yet another step with the addition of 2020 prospect and 6-foot-5, 330-pound mauler T.J. Bass.
