The NFL announced an expansion of its Global Markets Program (GMP), with four new clubs set to participate in 2025 and two new markets added.
Launched in 2022, the Global Markets Program awards NFL clubs international marketing rights to build brand awareness and fandom beyond the U.S., through fan engagement, events, commercial opportunities and NFL Flag development.

Nine clubs that currently hold GMP rights will also expand to additional countries, acquiring between one and three territories per club. In total, 29 clubs will participate in the program across 21 international markets as the NFL continues prioritizing global growth and connecting with more fans across markets around the world.
“The expansion of the Global Markets Program in 2025 reflects the NFL’s continued focus to grow the game and connect with fans on a global scale,” said NFL Executive Vice President, Club Business, Major Events & International Peter O'Reilly. “With more clubs entering the program and existing clubs adding to their global rights, and as the program expands to new markets, we are seeing strong momentum and impact in growing fandom worldwide together.”
Global Markets Program updates for 2025 include:
NFL clubs can apply for rights to international markets by submitting proposals to the International Committee for review each spring. Clubs are awarded rights for a five-year term through the program and during this period can pursue activities that are consistent with what they can do in their home domestic market, in their awarded international markets.
