Over the past years, the NFL has been breaking its barriers, evolving from an American pastime to a global show. This transformation is largely credited to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s ambitions to expand the league. It has somewhat successfully introduced the thrilling action of American football to international audiences.

NFL insider Joe Pompliano recently discussed the possibility of organizing the Super Bowl in the UK. Indeed, the enthusiasm for the NFL was visible during the recent international series in London. With strong attendance, the success of these games indicates a promising market for American football outside the US.

Pompliano Tackles the Super Bowl’s Potential Voyage to London

In a recent episode of the Joe Pomp show, NFL insider Joe Pompliano explored the topic of the feasibility of the Super Bowl, the crown jewel of American football, being hosted in London.

“He’s (Roger Goodell) vocalized his vision of having a London-based team, and now, discussions among him and NFL owners about the Super Bowl crossing the Atlantic have surfaced. It’s not just pie in the sky; these talks have been tabled before,”

Pompliano further examined the financial implications and logistical hurdles inherent in such a monumental move.

“We need to explore all avenues the NFL owners can navigate to make this dream a reality. It’s not just about hosting one Super Bowl; it’s about planting the NFL flag in London,” he emphasized.

However, Pompliano believes that it’s not feasible for the league to make the global expansion that Goodell is hoping to make for a simple reason: NFL is inherently American, and no one else “gives a crap.

The Kansas City Chiefs, basking in their Super Bowl triumph, are set to defend their glory against the Miami Dolphins, keen to demonstrate that their prowess wasn’t a one-off. This high-stakes collision is slated for foreign soil, a thrilling venture into the unfamiliar, and an absolute must-watch.

The star power accompanying this game is astronomical. The Chiefs, led by the dynamism of two-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, are touching down in Frankfurt, primed for battle. Not to be overshadowed, Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill are descending with a singular focus: lighting up the scoreboard. Anticipate a pyrotechnic display of talent; this game will be explosive.

Scheduled for a 9:30 a.m. ET kick-off on November 12th (Week 10), this game isn’t just another fixture in the NFL calendar; it’s history in motion. Frankfurt Stadium in Germany hosts and viewers worldwide can tune in via the NFL Network.
