NFL London 2026 Eagles v Jaguars: kick-off, travel and stations

Philadelphia Eagles play Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 11 October 2026, with kick-off at 2.30pm BST. White Hart Lane on the London Overground is the nearest station, about five minutes’ walk away. The stadium opens two hours before kick-off.

It follows Indianapolis Colts v Washington Commanders on Sunday 4 October, the first of this month’s two NFL London Games at the stadium.

Kick-off time and what happens before the game

The NFL asks fans to be in their seats 30 minutes before kick-off for the pre-match activities. Security is tighter than usual, so arriving early helps.

There is no traditional tailgate. Instead, the NFL Gameday Experience runs in N17 from 10am to 2pm, with the McCoy’s Quarterback Challenge and live DJs. Team cheerleaders and mascots appear as well. Food and drink stalls are part of it, alongside the Official NFL Shop.

The club shop at 746 High Road trades as an NFL Shop until Sunday 11 October. On gameday it opens at 9am and shuts 90 minutes after the game ends. Ticketholders can still get to it once they are inside the stadium.

Nearest stations to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Four stations serve the stadium. Walking times are the NFL’s estimates:

• White Hart Lane (London Overground): about 5 minutes, step-free to the platform.
• Northumberland Park (Greater Anglia): about 10 minutes, step-free to the platform.
• Tottenham Hale (Victoria line and Greater Anglia): about 25 minutes, step-free to the train and the northbound rail platform.
• Seven Sisters (Victoria line and London Overground): about 30 minutes, not step-free.

The Victoria line gets especially busy on gamedays. Journeys may be less crowded away from it, and travelling as early as possible also helps. The NFL strongly discourages fans from using Silver Street and Bruce Grove, which have limited capacity. Getting on a southbound train at Bruce Grove straight after the match is extremely difficult.

After the game, queue management usually changes the way into each station. Plan the walk back in advance and follow stewards and station staff. Signs on the main routes from each station lead to the stadium. Check the TfL website or app on the day for live service updates.

Road closures and driving

Some roads closest to the stadium shut for the game and stay closed until shortly after it. The 149 and 259 buses usually run along the High Road, as do the 279 and 349. Before and during the match they are diverted east of the stadium via Lansdowne Road, coming back onto the High Road at the Northumberland Park junction. Diversions are kept to a minimum, and the buses return to their usual route soon after the final whistle.

Taxis and private hire cars cannot drop off or pick up near the stadium. Arrange to be set down and collected at least a 15-minute walk away, about half a mile. There is no parking for general admission ticketholders, and fans are asked not to drive.

Tickets and stadium rules

There are no paper tickets. Every fan needs their own digital ticket saved on a smartphone. Download links went by email to the lead customer on each booking. Stewards can help with problems on the day, and the Ticket Office is on Paxton Terrace, at the stadium’s north-west corner.

Every person needs a ticket, babies included. A child under 2 can collect a free one from the ticket office on gameday, but sits on a parent’s lap rather than in a seat.

The NFL Clear Bag Policy applies. Fans are strongly encouraged to bring no bag at all, and only clear bags that meet the policy get in. Medically necessary items are allowed after screening at the entrance. Medication should be in its original labelled container or come with documents from a healthcare provider.

Smoking is banned throughout the stadium. The ban covers e-cigarettes and vapes too. Authorised stands sell alcohol to over-18s with valid government ID under a Challenge 25 policy. The limit is four alcoholic drinks per purchase. To report antisocial behaviour, text NFL to 07537 404821 with a description of the problem. Include your block and row. For the stadium Wi-Fi, choose the Stadium_Guest network. A registration page opens, and the phone connects once the terms are accepted.

Accessibility at the NFL London Games

NFL games do not need registration on the club’s Access Scheme. On the day, disability access stewards in purple bibs help with seating and lifts.

The main accessible entrances are 1, 5, 13 and 17. Each has lifts to the viewing areas and audio descriptive commentary headsets that are free to borrow. Entrance 11A is also accessible but sits above street level without that equipment. The stadium has 66 accessible toilets. There are also two Changing Places facilities, one in the East Atrium and one in West Stand Block 105.

The Sensory Suite in the North Stand (Block 416, Gate 5) offers a quieter room with sensory equipment. It is meant for autistic supporters and anyone with a sensory impairment, and access comes through booking tickets in Block 416. Sensory kits with ear defenders and fidget tools come from the fan information booths in the Cusack and Hogan stands. A British Sign Language interpreter will cover the pre-game anthems. All London black cabs are wheelchair accessible.

Accessible parking is only for fans with a valid Blue Badge, and each request is also checked against a valid accessible ticket. It must be bought before gameday, and enquiries go to londontickets@nfl.com. Fans who cannot reach their assigned seat can ask to move at an accessible gate or through a steward in their section. Moves are very limited and offered first come, first served. Other access questions go to access@tottenhamhotspur.com.
