LONDON (AP) — Jacksonville’s run of playing an annual home game at Wembley Stadium could be nearing its end.
Jaguars president Mark Lamping said Saturday the team hopes to keep all of its 2028 home games in Jacksonville to coincide with the re-opening of its stadium following a $1.4 billion renovation.
The Jags were early adopters of the NFL's international push and began staging an annual game at Wembley in 2013, but the economic incentive to do so has been decreasing.
Jacksonville will play its 16th London game on Sunday when the team faces the Houston Texans at Wembley.
Lamping told Jacksonville reporters in London that the plan for the 2028 season is a full slate at its “stadium of the future."
“If there’s a natural year where you probably want to play every home game in Jacksonville, it would be the year you open a new stadium,” Lamping said.
Construction has already begun with EverBank Stadium at reduced capacity this season.
The Jags will move most of their home games to Orlando next season.
The team has the option of playing three home games in London next season, but Lamping said the likelihood of that is “remote." He said that option was designed more for if the team had chosen to play in Gainesville next year.
Jacksonville's games at Wembley are separate from the NFL-mandated international games. In that category, the Jaguars are set to play one game abroad next season. Lamping said he hopes that one will be in London but said there's no guarantee.
“The league tells us where that game is going to be played,” he said.

PARIS (AP) — A car and a newspaper kiosk were set on fire in Paris as police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse violent groups of protesters, while similar tensions erupted in other big cities on the fringes of nationwide demonstrations against rising living costs and in support of high school students’ grievances.
In Lyon, France’s third-largest city, fire broke out inside a tourist office. Smoke and flames were seen rising from the building.
In the southern port city of Marseille, some shops and a municipal police station were damaged, while some protesters briefly forced their way into the lobby of City Hall.
In Paris, police used tear gas and water cannons to push back people wearing hoods and masks and throwing fireworks and other objects at officers in the Place de la République, northeast of the Paris city center. Large numbers of riot police were deployed in the square and surrounding streets.
The majority of peaceful protesters joined the march that started moving toward northwestern Paris.
Protesters across France responded to calls on social media to revive the “yellow vest” movement, which emerged in 2018 against social injustice. Student groups protesting since mid-September through school blockades have urged supporters to join them.
The CGT, one of France’s major labor unions, also backed the protests, calling for “higher wages and pensions, lower prices and the protection of public services that meet people’s needs.”
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez's office earlier said authorities had recorded 140 protest actions outside the Paris region by midday, involving over 30,000 people. Authorities reported at least 166 arrests across the country.
Nuñez’s office pointed to violence carried out by people wearing masks in Paris, Marseille, Rennes, Toulouse and Angers.
President Emmanuel Macron appealed Friday for calm. “There is a constitutional right to protest and to express oneself,” he said in Brussels. “But this right comes with the need to respect. Respect for people, respect for property, and therefore a commitment not to insult or destroy.”
Police banned some other proposed gatherings in central Paris. Many metro stations were closed Saturday at police request, including those around the Champs-Elysées and near the presidential palace, parliament and government offices.
In recent weeks, France has seen thousands of arrests, hundreds of injuries and schools set on fire as the new school year descended into nationwide student protests that are influencing the country's presidential election campaign and drawing international attention.
Among protesters, particularly gruesome wounds suffered by some teenagers have been blamed on police riot-control weapons. Nuñez suspended the use of a type of police stun grenade against the young demonstrators after a 15-year-old lost a hand.
On Tuesday, climate and social justice activist Greta Thunberg joined students at a high school in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis.
