Rams to host first NFL game in Australia in 2026

The Los Angeles Rams will host the NFL's first-ever game in Melbourne, Australia, during the 2026 season, the NFL announced on Wednesday.

MCG. NFL fields are actually narrower than football and when the German league played at the Hannover stadium there was a decent amount of space available on each sideline. MCG will see plenty of room at the cost of being further away from the action.

The NFL have gone hard on international games with the UK becoming a mainstay. The following in Germany and Europe is big so it's stuck here. Brazil had a game which had a big crowd but came across as less authentic. They all are to be fair.
 
The AFL promo shit is all in motion. Sherrins galore and tell how they have Australia's Superbowl.
 
yer can't grasp the game JS.
I think I recall you follow it, I have gone to a few games in the US, it goes too long like afl for my liking and I don't like the 1/4's style of game.
Far prefer full 2 halves makes it a greater contest of skill and stanima.
I see the skill factor having watched alot of nrl/union but like those games all I see is its a mugs game generally.
Maybe I'm too football focussed of the beautiful game I have no care And I don't like more merica kind of influence on our shores, we already follow enough of their bad traits imo.
 
It's just interesting if you tell people you're going to the NFL at the mcg you have creditability omg that's so cool wow

But if I tell people I'm going to Melbourne city vs Western united they look at me like I'm a loser
 
This will be more about spreading egg ball to America than anything else.

Nah but it's like that with everything sadly if you're going to a massive music concert it's just more socially acceptable than going to a standard gig.

I guess you don't need to care what others think but just a thought on a thuuursday

They run about 25 metres then have a coffee break and stand around like stale bottles of piss or cut to a commercial break.

It's popularity is lost on me.
