Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, envisions an NFL with an 18-game regular season, including international matches for all teams. This proposal aims to boost revenue and global reach, but it faces negotiations with the NFL Players' Association. Every team would play a game overseas, twice as many as initially planned for 2026.

Commissioner Roger Goodell emphasizes the need for further groundwork before such changes can be implemented.

Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Colts owner, supports the 18-game season, suggesting it could lead to better player benefits and financial stability.
