LONDON — The Jaguars, Dolphins, Browns and Rams will be the home teams for next season’s NFL games in London.

The Baltimore Ravens will play Jacksonville in either Week 3 or 4 of the 2017 schedule. That game will be at Wembley Stadium, as will the New Orleans Saints vs. Miami, again in one of those weeks.

Cleveland will host the Minnesota Vikings at Twickenham, where the NFL first played this year, in Week 7 or 8. The Arizona Cardinals take on Los Angeles at Twickenham in one of those weeks as well.

“Having one of the most famous fan groups in the NFL, Cleveland’s Dawg Pound, sharing Twickenham with our U.K. fans is going to be a lot of fun,” NFL UK managing director Alistair Kirkwood said in a statement.

It’s the first time the league will play four games in London. Game times have not been finalized.

Arizona, Baltimore and Cleveland will play regular-season games for the first time in London, bringing the total to 26 different teams since the NFL started playing in the British capital in 2007. It will be the fourth match there for the Dolphins, second for the Saints and the fifth for the Jaguars, who have played annually in London since 2013.

The NFL has played 17 regular-season games in London, starting with the New York Giants beating the Dolphins 13-10 in October 2007. Fifteen of those games have drawn more than 80,000 fans to Wembley Stadium.
