The NFL’s Future in London: Travis Kelce Weighs In

The NFL has been playing regular games in London since 2007, and the idea of a permanent team in the UK has been gaining traction. One of the biggest supporters of this idea is none other than Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In a recent podcast, Kelce expressed his enthusiasm for the possibility of playing for a London-based team, saying he would leave the Chiefs for no other team.

The NFL has been actively exploring international expansion, with games played in London, Mexico City, and even a few in Canada. The league has seen significant growth in popularity abroad, with fans from all over the world tuning in to watch their favorite teams.

Travis Kelce, one of the NFL’s most charismatic players, has been vocal about his desire to play for a London-based team. In his podcast, he said, “Yes, 100 percent. I’m waiting for that team in London to play for another team other than the Chiefs. That’s the only situation if I get to play abroad.” His brother Jason, a former Philadelphia Eagles center, also weighed in, saying, “I think if there’s an NFL team, the first city it’s coming to is London, I’ll go on record for that.”
