Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The National Football League has announced three games for the International Series in london next year.
Three new teams and a new stadium will be part of the trio of games for British and European NFL fans, with the games to be played on 2 October and then back-to-back on 23 and 30 October.
One team, from the NFC East - which includes the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys - is still to be announced.
The first game will be a AFC South divisional matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars, at Wembley Stadium for the fourth year in a row, against Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts, who have not been to the UK before, on 2 October.
The game on 23 October will be the first game at Twickenham Stadium, between the St Louis Rams, who last played in London in 2012, and whichever team from the NFC East finishes in the same place in the standings as the Rams.
A week later fans at Wembley Stadium will get to see two teams who have yet to play in the UK before - the Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Redskins.
“The passion our UK fans have shown for the NFL is overwhelming,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “We are very appreciative of the strong and growing fan support, not only for the games, but for all of the related NFL events we host in the UK throughout the year. We look forward to welcoming new fans to their first NFL game in 2016 and welcoming back thousands of others that are helping our sport grow to new levels of popularity in London and beyond.”
Game times will be announced at a later date as will the possibility of an International Series game being played outside of the UK.
