Three NFL franchises will play in London for the first time next year as part of a four-game schedule that will see contests staged at Wembley and Twickenham.

The Cleveland Browns, who are yet to win a game in 2016, will be the home team against the Minnesota Vikings at Twickenham, which will also be the venue for a Los Angeles Rams 'home' game again, this time against the Arizona Cardinals.

As well as the Browns and Cardinals, the Baltimore Ravens will make a maiden Transatlantic voyage to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley, where the New Orleans Saints meet the Miami Dolphins either seven days earlier or a week later.
