The NFL is returning to London three times in 2025. But if the Cowboys are going to make their first trip to the United Kingdom in over a decade, there’s only one possibility.
The league announced on Friday its designated home teams for next season’s London games. The Cleveland Browns and New York Jets will act as honorary hosts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a game each, and the Jacksonville Jaguars will welcome an opponent to Wembley Stadium for the 14th time.
Of those, only the Jets are scheduled to play the Cowboys.
NFL.com’s Tom Blair calls that one of his “dream matchups” for the London slate.
The Jets, of course, have some major question marks at the head coach and quarterback positions. And while Mike McCarthy isn’t a lock to return to the Cowboys sideline next season, Blair points out that “Dak Prescott, Micah Parsons, and CeeDee Lamb should be plenty capable of providing some spice” to the matchup.
But Blair admits, “In reality, the schedule-makers might not be able to resist showcasing this game stateside in prime time.”
The NFL announced the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars will each play international games in London during the 2025 regular season.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host both the Jets and the Browns, while the Jaguars will return to Wembley Stadium.

A game at Tottenham against the Jets isn’t the Cowboys’ only chance at an international showing in 2025, as the league will also stage a pair of contests on the European mainland. While the home teams for those games have not been announced, one can look at the Cowboys’ finalized list of opponents and do some narrowing down.
It is believed that AFC teams will serve as the host squad in all international games next season, since that conference has the extra home date on the 17-game schedule. If that holds true, the Cowboys’ only remaining possibilities would be facing either the Broncos or Raiders in either Berlin or Madrid.

Of the 55 regular-season games ever played outside the U.S., the Cowboys have appeared in just one: a 2014 tilt against the Jaguars at London’s Wembley Stadium. Tony Romo led Dallas to a 31-17 win that day with two touchdown passes to Dez Bryant and another to Jason Witten.
Dates for the 2025 International Series games have not been announced.
