NFL Game London

For the fifth time in sports history, an American football game will take place as part of the NFL London event. With American football on the rise in the UK, it's no surprise that the popularity of the sport sees the Americans bringing their hard hitting game to the UK.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Chicago Bears
But can the venue live up to the hype? In this case, the answer is yes. The NFL game London venue is once more none other than Wembley Stadium, one of the largest sporting grounds in the UK. The fifth in a series of American football games in London over the past few years, the National Football League match in October 2011 sees the Tampa Bay Buccaneers go head to head against the Chicago Bears in a contest that's destined to be just as big as the previous games.

Sporting London
London's sporting achievements have taken a turn for the better in recent times, with the Olympic games coming to the capital in 2012 and London venues hosting a number of 2015 Rugby World Cup matches too. A must for NFL fans throughout the UK, when it comes to the NFL game London audiences will be treated to the sight of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears playing another important fixture on the sporting calendar - one that will go down in history.

Past games
National fans of the sport are also keen to see the game contintue to be played outside its native waters, as a crowd of 81,176 saw the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins in the capital for the first NFL game London ever hosted in 2007.

Super Bowl fever
The NFL Super Bowl is one of the biggest sports days in America, making the NFL match in London another major coup for the city. This is the chance for Londoners to get on board with another sport that could become increasingly popular in the city over the next decade.

London teams
There are already several London American football teams, including the London Olympians who recently pushed a recruitment drive in the city, indicating that there are many men out there who not only watch the game, but want to play it too.

Future games
With unprecedented interest seeing ticket requests for the past NFL matches reaching over half a million within 72 hours of them going on sale, the NFL have recently announced that they will be staging more matches in the UK over the next few years. When it comes to tickets for the 2011 NFL game London residents will have to be organised and get in quick if last year's match was anything to go by.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears match takes place at 6pm, Sunday 23rd October 2011. If you would like to book tickets for the NFL game at Wembley Stadium, please click the Buy Tickets button.
