The NFL has never played more than five international games in a season, but that will likely be changing as soon as next year. 

During an interview with Pat McAfee this week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said that the league will be looking to play seven international games in 2025. 

"We think we'll be seven next year, we're already going to Spain next year, we'll be back in Mexico, I hope, by next year," Goodell said. "So we're really excited where the future is for us on an international basis."

The NFL is holding a total of five international games this season with three games in London, one game in Germany and one game in Brazil. The Eagles-Packers game in Sao Paulo will mark the first time that the NFL has ever played a game in South America and it likely won't be the last.
