HOUSTON, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- NFL teams will keep playing in Britain through 2016 with the possibility of more than the current one contest per year, the league announced Tuesday.
Under a resolution passed by NFL owners at a Houston meeting, the league committed to playing at least one regular season game in Britain for the next five years.
But it also offered any NFL team that volunteered the option of playing "at least one" regular-season contest per year in London as the home squad.
If more than one team volunteered, that could also be accommodated, the resolution said.
"The response to NFL games being played in the U.K. continues to be exceptional," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Because of the outstanding support of our British fans, we are confident that hosting additional games in the U.K. will be well received and support our goal of bringing football to more fans in the U.K. and beyond."
London's Wembley Stadium has hosted one regular season game per year since 2007. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will square off against the Chicago Bears at Wembley this month.
