The 2024–2025 NFL International Series “home” clubs were revealed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. London, England will host games featuring the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, and Jacksonville Jaguars as the host teams. The Carolina Panthers are scheduled to play in Munich, Germany, with that team serving as the home team.

In 2024, the New Orleans Saints do not play the Vikings, Bears, or Jaguars. Of course, the Saints will play Carolina twice, their NFC South rival. For the first time, an NFL game will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil. That game is scheduled for a Friday night in Week 1 and the home team will be the Philadelphia Eagles.

Divisional rivals seldom face off in NFL International games. Out of the 43 regular season games that were played, it has only occurred six times.

International competitions have underway in 2007. Of the 43 games, three have been played by New Orleans, all of them in London. The Saints were the home team at Wembley Stadium in 2008 when they defeated the San Diego Chargers 37–32.

In 2017, the New Orleans Saints made a trip back to Wembley and defeated the Miami Dolphins 20-0 as the visiting squad. The Saints were chosen as the home team in 2022 after losing to the Minnesota Vikings 28–25 at Tottenham Stadium.

Even though it’s unlikely, there’s a remote chance the Saints will participate in an international competition in 2024. This April, the NFL schedule will be formally revealed.
