Tottenham wants to host Super Bowl 2026

Strengthened by a decade-long relationship with the NFL and a futuristic stadium, the Spurs want to bring the sporting event of the year to Europe.

Tottenham wants to host Super Bowl 2026 Strengthened by a decade-long relationship with the NFL and a futuristic stadium, the Spurs want to bring the sporting event of the year to Europe.

Just the day after the NFL announced that four games of the next season of the American Football League will be played in Germany, to be precise in Munich and Frankfurt, came the rumor that Tottenham has put forward its candidacy to host the Super Bowl 2026. Strengthened by the new and futuristic 1 billion dollars stadium just built in London, the owners of the Spurs have launched a challenge as ambitious as complex, which is to bring out of the U.S. borders the sporting event of the year. Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, for years has been trying to make its product more international, very strong at home but less followed in other continents, proposing more and more games in Europe and Mexico, but the Super Bowl in England would be an epoch-making revolution, both for the time zone and for the many sponsors who each year support the most watched broadcast in the U.S.

Tottenham has already signed a 40 million agreement with the NFL for ten years to host two matches per season and the stadium is the only one outside the U.S. to have been built specifically for American football, with a playing field hidden under the soccer field. In addition, in 2018 Nike had created a concept of jerseys for the English team using the style and aesthetics of the uniforms used in American football, and last October Tottenham became the first Premier League team to be included in Madden, the very popular NFL video game. A strong relationship then, that between the Londoners and the American league, which could even lead to a Super Bowl not stars and stripes.
