Neben dem Wembley Stadion wird auch in Twickenham gespielt. Eine der heiligen Orte des Rugby wird damit erstmalig Austragungsort eines NFL-Spiels. Das Heimteam steht mit St. Louis bereits fest. Gegner der Rams wird ein derzeit noch nicht bekanntes NFC East Team sein und zwar jenes, welches am Ende die Saison am selben Rang abschließt wie St. Louis in der NFC West. Währenddessen hat sich der Betreiber des Heimstadions der Rams zu Wort gemeldet, die St. Louis Convention und Visitors Commission, die sich verwundert zeigten über die London-Pläne der Franchise.
Zum ersten Mal werden die Cincinnati Bengals und Washington Redskins 2016 London besuchen, die in einem direkten Duell aufeinander treffen. 
Bereits fest stand, dass die Jacksonville Jaguars wieder Gastgeber eines Spiels sein werden. Ihr Gegner werden in einem Divisionsduell die Indianapolis Colts sein. Auch für das Team aus Indiana ist es der erste Besuch den sie Großbritannien abstatten werden.
Die genauen Spielzeiten un der Berginn des Kartenvorverkaufs wird die NFL zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt bekannt geben.

Pressemeldung der NFL
2016 UK INTERNATIONAL SERIES GAMES CONFIRMED:​
SCHEDULE FEATURES THREE GAMES, A NEW STADIUM, AT LEAST THREE NEW TEAMS
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS vs. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
NFC EAST OPPONENT vs. ST. LOUIS RAMS
WASHINGTON REDSKINS vs. CINCINNATI BENGALS
Three games.  A new stadium.  At least three new teams. 
Those are among the highlights of the 2016 UK International Series schedule as the NFL will reward its incredible UK fans for their passion and support by adding a new stadium experience at Twickenham and feature at least three teams that have not previously played a regular-season game in London.
The JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS will host the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS in an AFC South division matchup in Week 4 on Sunday, October 2, at Wembley Stadium; in Week 7 on Sunday, October 23, in the first-ever NFL game at Twickenham Stadium, the ST. LOUIS RAMS will host the NFC East team that finishes in the same spot in the standings as the Rams do in the NFC West based on the NFL’s scheduling formula; and in Week 8 on Sunday, October 30, the CINCINNATI BENGALS will play their first international game when they host the WASHINGTON REDSKINS at Wembley. 
The formula for the second game means that the Rams will face either the Philadelphia Eagles making their first regular-season trip to the UK, the Dallas Cowboys or New York Giants making return visits, or Washington becoming the first team to play in consecutive weeks in London. 
“The passion our UK fans have shown for the NFL is overwhelming,” said NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL“We are very appreciative of the strong and growing fan support, not only for the games, but for all of the related NFL events we host in the UK throughout the year.  We look forward to welcoming new fans to their first NFL game in 2016 and welcoming back thousands of others that are helping our sport grow to new levels of popularity in London and beyond.” 
The game times and a possible additional International Series game outside of the UK will be announced at a later date.
