The Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars play at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, Oct. 18. Kickoff is 9:30 a.m. ET (8:30 a.m. Central), and the game is on NFL Network. Jacksonville is the designated home team. It is the Jaguars' second game in London this season: they were scheduled to play the Eagles at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Oct. 11.
Where each team stands
Houston, under DeMeco Ryans, was 0-4 before Week 5. The Texans lost 36-31 to Buffalo, 20-6 to Cincinnati, 19-17 at Indianapolis and 34-30 to Dallas. They were at Tennessee on Oct. 11.
Jacksonville, under Liam Coen, was 3-1 and first in the AFC South through Week 4. The Jaguars beat Cleveland 34-10, lost 20-13 at Denver, beat New England 35-6 and won 22-17 at Cincinnati.
Home lots
An international game has no tailgate in the usual sense, but both teams have a home scene. Jacksonville fans tailgate in Lot J, in Jacksonville heat, with the pools not far away. In Houston, the Blue Lot is a full-scale barbecue operation in the NRG lots, in Houston heat.
The International Series
The league's 2026 International Series has nine games, including Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, three in London, Paris, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City. This one is one of two Jacksonville home games played in London.
What to watch
A team that has lost all four of its games meets a team that has won three of four and leads its division. It is an early-morning start in the U.S., and it airs on NFL Network.
