Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is just like fans when it comes to the idea of the team playing an international game in 2026:
He just wants to know.
Chase took to social media to end the week and dropped that very question to the public.
It’s only a matter of time. As far back as 2024, the Bengals were “bracing” for an international game. They were candidates to play in Munich, Germany.
Last year, the Bengals could have been selected to play the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. Joe Burrow loved the idea.
At the time of the Bengals possibly going to Madrid, the Bengals had the sixth-longest drought in the NFL without an international game (2019).
The NFL recently announced the league will play a game in Paris, France in 2026, featuring the New Orleans Saints. Spain is also on the schedule. These are the locales:
-
Australia
-
Brazil
-
Germany
-
U.K. (3)
-
France
-
Spain
The LA Rams will play in Australia, while the Jaguars will play in London.
The Bengals? A hot attraction and contender, so this feels like it could be the year.
