NFL at Wembley 2026: Texans v Jaguars kick-off, travel and entry

The Houston Texans play the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 18 October 2026. Kick-off is at 2.30pm UK time. The Jaguars are the home side and they sell the tickets. The fan areas around the stadium open from 9.30am.

Kick-off time and what opens before the game

The Jaguars have set up a game day programme on the land around the stadium. Most of it closes before kick-off, so the morning is when the most is open.

• Duuuval Market, Green Car Park North: 9.30am to 2pm. It opens again from the fourth quarter until two hours after the final whistle. This is the largest Fanatics shop on site, with kit from all 32 NFL teams. The Jaguars say it also stocks exclusive International Games merchandise.
• Beers & Bites, Green Car Park South: 9.30am to 2pm, then from the fourth quarter until 9.30pm. It is a big fan zone with food and drink, and THE ROAR cheerleaders and Jaguars legends make appearances. The Jaguars say it is one of the only places to have a beer before the game. NFL RedZone is shown here after the final whistle.
• Olympic Way: 10am to 1.30pm, before the game only. Partner stands run challenges and hand out giveaways.
• JagTag, Engineers Way: 10am to 2pm. Leading coaches from the region run flag football sessions here for anyone between 8 and 18.
• The Den, East Concourse: from 10am. This is the last place to get food and drink before going into the stadium.

How to get to Wembley Stadium

Wembley Stadium wants fans to come by public transport. Three stations are close to the ground.

• Wembley Park: two stops from Baker Street on the Metropolitan line. The Jubilee line stops here too.
• Wembley Stadium station: one stop from London Marylebone on Chiltern Railways.
• Wembley Central: on the Bakerloo line and on the London Overground route between Watford Junction and London Euston.

National Express is the stadium’s official coach partner. It runs coaches for events from many places around the UK.

Driving, parking and ULEZ

If you have to drive, Wembley says to use official stadium parking only, and you must book a space in advance. Wembley Stadium does not own or run the car parks. For live traffic news, Highways England’s number is 0300 123 5000.

The stadium is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone. A vehicle that does not meet the ULEZ emission standards pays £12.50 a day while it is driven in the zone. The zone runs 24 hours a day, every day except 25 December.

Bag policy and age rules at the gate

The Jaguars are running a strict clear bag policy at Wembley. They have published a list of banned items. Children under 2 are not allowed into the stadium at all, and every child aged 2 or over needs their own ticket.

Accessibility

A small number of wheelchair and ambulant spaces are on sale, along with seats for personal assistants. Fans who bought accessible seats before can buy on priority. New buyers have to go through the Jaguars’ accessibility enquiry route. Both Wembley car parks have accessible spaces for Blue Badge holders. You book them in advance through Wembley Official Parking. Wembley Stadium also offers a Digital Access Pass, so its team can help you more quickly over the phone.
