New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is eyeing Scotland as a potential future destination for an international NFL game. The Boston Globe’s Nicole Yang reported the news last week, and ESPN’s Mike Reiss shared a follow-up report in his Sunday notes column.
Reiss wrote:
“Sources with the NFL said this isn’t an “active” situation, so it would currently fall in the “conversation” phase. The league views the possibility as appealing in the future, especially with Goodell’s stated desire to expand the international schedule beyond the record nine games this season.”
Scotland’s Tartan Army made a strong impression in the Boston area while attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The festivities reached new heights, with reports that local bars in Boston were drained of beer during the event. Imagine how big an NFL debut game could potentially be in Scotland?
Kraft is hoping to find out soon, and he wants the Patriots on the ticket.
New England is set to take part in the NFL’s international slate in 2026, with their Week 10 road trip scheduled in Munich on November 15 against the Detroit Lions.
