The National Football League knows no bounds. Last season, the league presented 13 different teams in seven international games that took place in five different cities. Three of those cities hosted the first-ever regular-season games in Dublin and Berlin and the first-ever NFL game in Madrid. In the 2026 season, the league has already played two international games — the Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne in Week 1 and the Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro in Week 3, which are both the first-ever NFL games in each city — and heading into Week 4, the NFL will host the first of three games in London. In total, the international schedule will see 16 different teams in nine games taking place in seven different cities. This year's batch will also include the first-ever NFL game in Paris and a return to both Mexico City and Munich after hosting games in 2022 and 2024, respectively. A large crew at the league is tasked with producing the in-game atmosphere, but one of the biggest leaders on the team is Senior Director of Global Event Presentation, Music, and Entertainment Tim Tubito.

On the latest episode of SVG GameDay, Tubito dives deep into the preparation and execution of these international games, how these games compare to the annual spectacle that is the Super Bowl, the lasting impact of Bad Bunny's halftime performance at Super Bowl LX, how his earlier years in football operations for the New York Jets gave him perspective on the in's and out's of a NFL organization, how a Pre-Law major at Hofstra University became a leading production voice at the league, and much more.
