New York, NY (Sports Network) - The National Football League will reportedly move its marquee game outside the United States for the first time within the next eight years.
According to the Sunday Telegraph, the NFL has assured London officials that their city will host the Super Bowl as early as 2014. An official announcement is expected at some point in the next 12 months.
Football's title game would be held at Wembley Stadium, which has hosted two sellout regular season games thus far and will welcome the Patriots and Buccaneers for a regular season matchup next season.
Bid packages for the 2014 Super Bowl must be released by November, and a final decision on the location will be made at the following spring meeting.
London is already the site of the 2012 Summer Olympics and is attempting to secure the 2018 World Cup. The report states that the Super Bowl could bring upwards of 350 million pounds in revenue to the city.
