The National Football League (NFL) has announced an exciting development for Australian sports fans. In 2026, a regular season NFL game will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) with the Los Angeles Rams as the designated team.

The MCG, also known as "The G," is a legendary sports stadium located in Yarra Park, Melbourne. It is the largest stadium in the Southern Hemisphere and has hosted numerous historic sporting events, including the 1956 Summer Olympics.

This announcement highlights the NFL's commitment to bringing the excitement of American football to new markets and fans around the world. It's a win for my home city Melbourne and for Aussie sports enthusiasts. Here's hoping the mighty Minnesota Vikings will be the other team travelling down under.
