<P> Due to NFL rules, teams that are playing in temporary homes or that have recently been awarded the Super Bowl are required to play a home game internationally . The Los Angeles Rams, upon relocating from St. Louis, agreed to host an international game from 2016--2019, while their new stadium is being built . The Los Angeles Chargers, who will be sharing the stadium with the Rams once it is completed, will also host an International Series game in 2018 and 2019, only getting out of the 2017 game because the team had executed its out clause to move from San Diego after the 2017 International Series games had been announced . The rule wasn't in affect when the Minnesota Vikings were playing at TCF Bank Stadium while U.S. Bank Stadium was being built, although the team did give up a home game while they were still playing in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome . It is also likely that the Oakland Raiders will host another game in either 2018 and 2019 (or both) due to their pending move to Las Vegas, but it is unknown whether the "temporary stadium" rule applies in that case . </P> <P> The Miami Dolphins hosted the New York Giants at Wembley Stadium in London, England on October 28, 2007 . The Giants defeated the Dolphins 13--10 in the first regular season NFL game held outside North America . The first 40,000 tickets sold out for the game in the first 90 minutes of sales . The game was aired regionally on Fox . </P> <P> A single game was held in London each year through 2011 . Like the 2007 game, each was televised nationally in England, but only regionally in the United States . </P> <P> On January 20, 2012, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that from 2012 to 2014, the St. Louis Rams would play one of their eight home games each year at Wembley Stadium . However, on August 13, 2012, the team announced that they would not play the proposed games in London in 2013 and 2014, only the 2012 game against the New England Patriots that had already been scheduled . Goodell had previously proposed the use of certain regular teams in the International Series in an effort to build a fan base for those teams, raising the prospect of a permanent NFL team on the British Isles . </P>
