Earlier this year the league announced it will be heading to Madrid, Spain during the 2025 season. Goodell also expects to bring more countries into the fold, but not without ensuring NFL teams are comfortable with the endeavor.
“Yes. We’re already looking at several markets,” Goodell said. “We do have a lot of markets that are interested in the game, but we have to go do the work because one of the things that we do, particularly with Brazil — it was a key factor for us — you want the teams to feel like it was not disruptive to the season. That they went and loved the trip. I went to Jordan Mailata because, to me, that was the best one: How was the trip? How was the plane? Everything was great. And the coaches were good, the players were great; everybody felt like this was a great trip. It was not disruptive, they were able to prepare properly. When they got back, I went back and checked afterwards, everybody recovered really well and that’s an 11-hour trip for these guys. So, when you see that, we learn something from everyone of the games and say, ‘OK, what can we do next, ultimately, and how do we continue to expand this?’ I do think we can do this. I think the scheduling, you know, we may have to make changes to that in some ways, probably roster sizes, do some other things. But I do think its something we will do more of.”
