A limited number of seats for NFL London games have been released by Ticketmaster coinciding with the start of the new American football season. October sees six teams playing on UK soil, with Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosting two games and Wembley Stadium hosting the last game of the series.
The games see the long-awaited British debut of the Green Bay Packers, with anticipation high amongst UK Cheeseheads to see Aaron Rodgers and co shake off a disappointing first game of the season at Spurs' London stadium.
Teams visiting London for 2022 are the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fans snapped up tickets for all three games as soon as they went on sale, with each allocation selling out within minutes on Ticketmaster, although to some fans' fury many appeared on resale sites virtually immediately.
We know from previous years that in the weeks before the games Ticketmaster has released additional tickets for the game, with one fan trying to console people disappointed on Twitter that they had missed out on seats in our liveblog when tickets went on sale.
And it looks like this week has bought a glimmer of hope, with fans on Twitter pointing out that small allocations of tickets went live on Ticketmaster yesterday. What's more, the Saints Vikings game still had some availability when we checked this afternoon.
We have asked Ticketmaster for a comment on how and when these tickets are going on sale but have yet to hear back. There are definitely ways to get seats for fans keen to snap up a last-minute ticket, although for many of the resale site markups will be something they're unwilling to pay.

It's worth keeping the tab open and re-checking as tickets appear to be dropping in a few at a time.
How to watch this year's NFL London games if you don't have tickets
NFL signed a high-profile deal with ITV in the off-season which has seen an increase in coverage of the sport across all platforms tying in with it growing ever more popular in the UK.
This means the broadcaster will be showing two of the three NFL London games this year, the Tottenham Stadium-hosted New York Giants versus Green Bay Packers game on October 9 and the Jacksonville Jaguars versus the Denver Broncos live from Wembley Stadium on October 30. They will also show Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023.
Meanwhile across the season, NFL players Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora join sports journalist Laura Woods weekly for ITV's NFL show, which is shown late on Friday on ITV1 and repeated on ITV4 over the weekend. It's also available on demand through ITV Player.
Sky Sports is arguably the main TV home of NFL in the UK and shows all Monday, Thursday and Sunday night action including two full games on a Sunday night. They also make a series of complementary shows including their much-loved RedZone, Good Morning Football and Total Access offering news, reaction and coverage on all the teams in the League.
To watch Sky Sports NFL, which broadcasts 24 hours a day on Sky channel 407, you need access to Sky's sports packages. There are currently a range of deals to do that available here. Meanwhile Virgin Media customers can subscribe and watch throw channel 507.
If you don't want or need full TV bundles, or perhaps aren't interested in the Premier League, F1 and other additional sports Sky provides, there is a simpler and more cost-effective way to get all the action of the NFL, using the NFL Game Pass. You can watch games live and on demand, keep up with all breaking NFL news and even download shows and highlights to watch at home or on the go on devices from as small as your phone to your big screen smart TV.
