The NFL extended its agreement with Wembley Stadium on Thursday for another five years, meaning the league will play at least two regular-season games a year at the London venue through 2020, according to Sky Sports.

The NFL also has an option to extend the Wembley deal for an extra five years to 2025. The NFL has gone to great lengths to expand its popularity overseas, and Thursday's announcement suggests its efforts have only just begun.

The league has been playing regular-season games at the stadium every year since 2007 and is playing three games in London this year for the second straight season.

Earlier this year, the NFL announced an agreement to play a minimum of two games per year during a 10-year partnership at English Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur new state-of-the-art stadium, set to open in the summer of 2018.

"These agreements reiterate the NFL's commitment to the UK, with two stadium deals running concurrently," said Mark Waller, executive vice president of NFL International. "To be playing in Wembley, the national stadium, and at Tottenham, in what will be London's newest stadium, is fantastic."

The new deal was announced ahead of Sunday's game between the Jaguars and Buffalo Bills.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the third year of a four-year deal to play one home game at Wembley per year.
