The Jacksonville Jaguars will play two home games in consecutive weeks in London, England, during the 2020 season.

The Jaguars will be the first team in league history to host two games outside of the United States in a single campaign.

Their opponents for the 2020 London games have yet to be determined.

"The ability to play two home games, back to back, at Wembley Stadium over this season will further entrench the Jaguars' popularity in London and throughout the UK during a time when the popularity of the NFL continues to grow rapidly in Europe and elsewhere beyond the United States," team owner Shahid Khan said in a release.

Jacksonville has played one contest per season in London since 2013 and is 3-4 in those games.

The addition of another London game on the Jaguars' schedule is not permanent but instead a bridge through a $700-million project to build up the area around TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
