According to a report by the Associated Press, the NFL and authorities in the United Kingdom have had preliminary discussions about possibly hosting a second regular season in the island nation next year. Nothing has been finalized as of yet, but the league has noticed the immense popularity of the games held there thus far, and is looking to expand its reach even further.

London has played host to the first two regular season matches held outside of North America, filling Wembley Stadium to the max, and this year’s game between the Patriots and Buccaneers has already proven itself as a ticket selling event, with fans snatching up tickets fairly quick.

    I really hope so. Ive be a massive fan of the NFL for over 11 years and that has always been my number 1 sport. I would really love the NFL to try and branch out further North like Manchester @ Old Trafford that would be a good venue. I`m might be a little biased there because I live in the Greater Manchester area, but it would be a little bit closer for the fans in Scotland to travel to. Plus you have the American tycoon Glazier family owning Man UTD and the Buccs so there is that link to Old Trafford to.
    Either way all in all it would be good to see the NFL back in England no matter where its played.
