NFL and Brazilian officials are in the midst of discussions that are expected to secure a long-term contract to bring more NFL games to Brazil.

Brazil hosted its first NFL game in September with the Philadelphia Eagles beating the Green Bay Packers 34-29 in Sao Paulo.

“In a long-term contract, we can work together with the NFL to make the sport even bigger in Brazil and increase job and income generation with every game,” Pires told The Athletic in a written statement.
The NFL game was a big hit in Brazil and displayed that the appetite was high enough for another. The contest generated $61 million in economic impact.

Three of the for-sure games are in London and the others are in Berlin and Madrid. The NFL has staged multiple other games in Germany but this will be the first in Berlin. The game in Madrid will be the first held in Spain.
