NFL Schedule Release week is here. Today, the NFL announced the full matchups for all but one game in its record seven-game international slate, which includes the Minnesota Vikings playing back-to-back games in different European countries.

The 2025 NFL season opens up on Thursday, Sept. 4 and on Friday, Sept. 5, it's going international. Sao Paulo is the site for this one, the same place where the Philadelphia Eagles began their Super Bowl-winning season in 2024. Rumor suggests that the Chiefs will travel to face their AFC West rivals in Week 1.

The NFL played its first game outside of the United States in 2005 as the Cardinals took on the 49ers. This led the league to develop an International Series, which had at least one game played outside of the U.
