Cleveland Browns won’t play any international games this season
The NFL has released their international schedule for the upcoming season and the Cleveland Browns will not participate. None of the team’s 17 games will be played outside of the United States.
NFL has put an emphasis on traveling outside of the country for games, to get to play in front of the international viewers. There’s even been talk of getting a team in London or Mexico City. The NFL has turned into a business that has eyes everywhere.
The travel for these games is tough though, so I doubt the Browns have a problem with being left out. You leave early to mid-week for a Sunday game, you’re going to miss out on some practice time. Some teams don’t play well traveling to the west coast from the east, and vise versa. That will be the case with traveling to another county.
This year’s NFL slate for international games will look like this.
