Currently the NFL is having games in England and the Bills are talking about Toronto. Do you think the NFL in a few years would consider allowing Canada or even a European city to have a team?
Do you think they should?
Will the NFL allow a franchise outside of the US anytime soon?nba hoops
Football is only so popular in Canada, and they have the CFL to compete against already, so I dont think it makes sense for the NFL to go there. Mexico has soccer, and Im not convinced an NFL team would do well there (MAYBE in Mexico city, but it hard to tell). For Europe- I hope not. It just doesnt make sense to have teams traveling that far. Its a lot to deal with the travel as it is, but when you go that far, you realy have to adjust to the time change and all. For any team based there, playing 8 road games a year would be a killer. I just dont think it makes sense, personally.

I do not think that they should. Canada has it's own league and travel to and from Europe would not be very reasonable for any team.
If the people in Europe really wanted a football franchise, then NFL Europa would have been a success. But it wasn't making money....and that's why it's gone.
No, not until there is a team in Los Angeles!
I don't think that any country in Europe has a chance at an NFL team anytime in the near future. First of all, there's not nearly as much of a market there. Remember NFL Europe anyone? If we do go international, chances are that we go with Canada. Also, with a European team, travel times would be ridiculous and extrememly unfair to that European team, as they will have to play across the Atlantic atleast 8 times per year. No way, Europe will ever get an NFL team.
An NFL team in Europe won't happen. I think it's something like a 5 hour time difference between London and New York, plus its a 6 hour flight. Can you imagine how rough it would be on either team if London were to play San Diego? They'd spend an entire day on a plane just going there and coming back. Its not going to happen.
An NFL team could happen in either Canada or possibly Mexico though. I think that Toronto, Mexico City or Monterray could all be possible sites if the NFL wanted to expand outside the United States. It probably won't happen soon (next 3-5 years) but further down the line its a possibility. However, I do think the most plausible scenario for it to happen would be if the NFL were to straight up add teams. I don't realistically see any current NFL teams moving out of the US. There are still plenty of place inside the country that want teams like LA or Vegas.
