The Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears games will still be played in Jacksonville. Additionally, season ticket holders will not be charged for the games that are played in London - this means they will be paying for one less game than last year.

“We are more confident than ever that [this decision] will be the catalyst to help the Jaguars and the City of Jacksonville realize its full potential,” Khan said.

Statement from Mayor Lenny Curry:

"The Jaguars have always maintained they are dedicated to stabilizing the franchise in Jacksonville, which includes seeking additional revenue. Since their beginning, the Jaguars’ London games have brought international attention and investment to Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Companies such as Resource Solutions, Greencore USA, City Refrigeration, and more have expanded operations and created new jobs in our region as a result of our targeted business development efforts during these trips. A second game will help immensely with the continued interest of increasing economic development opportunities and expanding Jacksonville’s presence in the global market.”
