NFL on track for full-time franchise in London by 2022

Wembley will host three more regular season games in 2015, with all of them already sold out, and 40,000 fans bought season tickets to cover all three games, which kick off with the New York Jets against the Miami Dolphins on October 4.

Waller said London would most likely have hosted four games this season (it will in 2016) but for the Rugby World Cup being held in England in September and October, the first two months of the NFL season.

But he said the season ticket base an English NFL team would need was already being met, as well as revealing the NFL is looking to other markets to add to their international portfolio.

There has been talk that Brazil will host the 2017 Pro Bowl while Germany is under consideration for a regular season visit, although the lack of a regular season television deal in that country is a problem.
