SAN ANTONIO – The Cowboys will play in their first regular-season game outside the United States when they face the Jaguars next season in London, the NFL announced Thursday morning.
The game will be one of three the league will play in 2014 in London’s Wembley Stadium.
The other contests will pit the Falcons against the Lions and the Raiders against the Dolphins.
The Cowboys played preseason games in London in 1986 and 1993.
“Our fans in the UK continue to demonstrate their passion for more football,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Next year for the first time we will play three regular-season games in London. We have scheduled three attractive games with four teams playing in their first International Series games. The growing enthusiasm for the NFL internationally is exciting and we look forward to continuing to respond to this interest in our game.”
The Cowboys have also played preseason games in Tokyo, Mexico City and Toronto. They last played outside the United States in 2001, when they beat the Raiders 21-6 in Mexico City.
