The New York Giants might be gearing up for an international appearance in one of the NFL's nine scheduled overseas games in 2026. This potential move is part of the league's continued push to expand its global footprint, with games slated in cities like London, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and Melbourne.
The San Francisco 49ers are already set for two international matchups. They'll clash with the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne and have another game lined up in Mexico City, though their opponent there remains under wraps. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are set to make history by playing in the NFL's inaugural game in Rio, with their rival yet to be announced.
For the Giants, 2026 includes nine home games on their 17-game slate. With NFL marketing rights in Germany, they have a strong international presence. Their last overseas outing was a memorable one, a narrow 20-17 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers in November 2024, marking Daniel Jones' final game as their quarterback.
Historically, the Giants have performed well on international soil, boasting a 3-1 record, with all victories achieved in England. As the NFL continues to embrace global opportunities, the Giants' potential involvement adds an exciting layer to their upcoming season.
