Cleveland Browns Opponent, Date For 2025 London Game Revealed

It's only the second time Cleveland will play an international contest, both of which are London games and both against the Vikings, who will be playing in their fifth international game. Minnesota will actually play internationally one week prior, in Dublin, Ireland, against the Pittsburgh Steelers as part of this year's international slate.

The rest of the London schedule features the Denver Broncos and New York Jets, also at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 6 and the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the Los Angeles Rams in London in Week 7.

There are also international contests between the Colts and Falcons in Berlin, Germany for the first time ever in Week 10 and the Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain in Week 11. The Los Angeles Chargers are also expected to host a game in Sao Paulo, Brazil in Week 1, with their opponent yet to be announced. Rumors suggest it will be the Kansas City Chiefs.

For the Browns, their matchup with the Vikings will be a rematch from their only other international matchup in 2017. Minnesota blew out Cleveland 33-16 in that previous meeting, played at Twickenham Stadium in London. Current Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was on the Vikings staff at the time, in his first year as quarterback coach.

This time he'll man the opposing sideline. It's the second time he'll face his former team since taking the Browns job in 2020. He won the first meeting 14-7 back in 2021.

The London game will count as one of the Browns' nine home games for 2025. They will still welcome host to Minnesota's AFC North rival, Green Bay, to Cleveland this fall, along with the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers and all three of their AFC North foes.

Cleveland's eight road games include trips to Detroit, Las Vegas, New England, New York and Chicago, along with each of its division rival cities.

The Browns full schedule, along with the NFL's entire 2025 slate will be revealed officially on Wednesday evening.
