The NFL is looking to grow its presence beyond the US. A key part of this effort involves entering new markets. Brett Gosper, who oversees the league's operations in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, has spoken about these plans.

Further information is available from the league. The NFL's expansion efforts are driven by increasing interest in the sport outside the US.

Details about the timing and specifics of the expansion are not provided, but Japan is one of the countries being considered as part of this initiative.
