Travis Kelce is confident that the NFL will make its way across the pond to London in the not-too-distant future.
On the latest episode of he and his brother Jason’s “New Heights” podcast, the All-Pro tight end predicted that London will host an NFL team in “less than 10 years.”
“Less than 10 years,” Kelce said. “I don’t know for a fact that it’s gonna be London … I mean it’s where we’ve been playing for the most overseas.”
Travis added that he’d never leave the Chiefs but he might entertain the option if the league opened up a franchise in London Town.
“I’m waiting for [London’s] team to play for another team other than the Chiefs,” the nine-time Pro Bowler admitted. “Like that’s the only situation is if I get to play abroad.”

The Kelce brothers filmed their latest podcast episode live from the Passyunk Avenue Bar in England where they’re supporting Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift on the UK leg of her highly-acclaimed Eras Tour.
The NFL had made it no secret that it would like to expand the game outside of U.S. borders and make it more of a global brand.
There’s definitely an appetite for American football beyond our country’s borders and Roger Goodell and others are going to do everything in their power to make sure those fans are fed.
