NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Friday that he would like to see the league have up to 16 international games each season.

“The ownership’s approved eight games already,” Goodell said before the NFL’s first game in Brazil. “I hope to get that to 16 at some point in the future. Let’s see how that goes.”

Goodell spoke on Peacock before the streaming service’s broadcast of Friday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, which was the first NFL game held in South America and one of five international games scheduled for 2024.

This includes three games in London.
