As part of ESPN’s company record for NFL games broadcast in a season, the Jaguars and Falcons game in Wembley Stadium will be exclusively aired on ESPN+. ESPN will be the second company to exclusively stream an NFL game after Amazon and Prime Video became the home of Thursday Night Football in 2022.
Additionally, Disney+ will air a “Toy Story” version of the game with Falcons and Jaguars players being transported into Andy’s room and the world of Pixar. Here’s how to watch all the fun.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
- Start time: 9:30 a.m. ET
- Channel/Streaming options: ESPN+, Disney+, NFL+
Jacksonville returns to their home away from home this week as the franchise plays in their tenth London game. The Jaguars have already made the trip to England nine times. The next closest team is the Miami Dolphins, who have taken five trips across the pond. In contrast, the Jaguars have played in the most games, but that hasn’t translated to more wins.
Jacksonville enters their tenth NFL London game with a 4-5 record with hopes of getting to .500 before a date with the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 6. On the other hand, Atlanta returns to London after winning their last game against the New York Jets in 2021.
The Falcons have played in England just once more, losing to the Detroit Lions 22-21 at Wembley Stadium in 2014. Can the Falcons pull off the upset and head back home with a 2-1 international record?
