NFL global and demographic expansion efforts

Overview

The NFL is implementing multi-faceted growth strategies to expand its global and demographic reach. Geographically, the league is increasing its international presence by scheduling nine regular-season games across seven countries—including Mexico, Spain, Brazil, Australia, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom—for the 2026 season, with further expansion planned for 2027.

Simultaneously, the league is evolving its content strategy to target women and younger audiences. By leveraging the social media influence of players and highlighting their personal lives and relationships, the NFL aims to capitalize on trends that improve engagement among Gen Z and Millennial women. NFL SVP of social and influencer marketing Ian Trombetta noted the league seeks ‘authentic opportunities to highlight our players and the people who are part of their journey.’
