Buffalo Bills Play International Game in 2027

The Buffalo Bills will play an international game in 2027, as per the NFL's league-wide mandate.

What prompted this decision?

The NFL changed its rule, requiring each team to play at least one international game every four years, down from eight.

The Buffalo Bills last played an international game in 2023, so they are due for another one in 2027.

How does this affect their schedule?

This means the Bills will lose one of their nine home games next year, as they will play it outside of the United States.

The Bills have experience playing international games, having played annual games in Toronto from 2008-2013 and in London twice, in 2015 and 2023.

What is their record in international games?

In eight international regular season games, the Buffalo Bills are 1-7, with their only win coming in 2011 when they shut out Washington 23-0.

The Bills could play any of their scheduled home opponents in the international game, including AFC East teams, the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Commanders.

What are the potential locations for the game?

The NFL has opened its door to playing in various countries, including Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, and Spain, in addition to their previous locations in Toronto and London.

The Bills' radio play-by-play voice, Chris Brown, pointed out the NFL's rule change, which led to this announcement.

The team's fans can discuss the upcoming game on the Bills Roundtable fan community and message board.

The Buffalo Bills will have to wait until next year's schedule is released to find out who they will play in the international game.
