The Jacksonville Jaguars have reportedly blocked the Pittsburgh Steelers from playing an international game in 2026, opting to keep the matchup at home to ensure maximum ticket sales. This decision comes as the Jaguars undergo a major stadium renovation.
It's not often the Pittsburgh Steelers are afforded the luxury of an international matchup, but the team was reportedly blocked from one such game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2026.
According to a report from insider Gerry Dulac of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Jaguars "protected" their home game against the Steelers in order to maximize ticket sales in Jacksonville.
"However, according to multiple sources, the Jaguars “protected” their home game against the Steelers, meaning it will likely be played in Jacksonville and not in the capital of England," Dulac wrote. "The Jaguars are tearing up EverBank Stadium with a $1.4 billion renovation that will reduce their seating capacity by 50% this season. They don’t want to give up a game against the Steelers because they know it is guaranteed to be a sellout, based on the way Steelers fans gobble up seats in opposing stadiums."
Dulac also added that teams with scheduled international games are afforded the ability to "protect" two home games, which the Jaguars are reportedly doing with the Steelers.
Hilariously enough, the Jaguars might've had an advantage in London, where they've played all 14 of their international matchups. Hopefully, Steelers Nation will arrive in droves on the road in Jacksonville, forcing the Jaguars to rethink their scheduling preference.
