The New England Patriots will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next season at Wembley Stadium, the third straight year the NFL will stage a regular-season game in the British capital.

The NFL said Monday the game will be played Oct. 25. The Bucs will be listed as the home team, giving up a game in Tampa.

Five weeks ago, the New Orleans Saints beat the San Diego Chargers 37-32 at Wembley. Last season, the New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins 13-10. Both games were sold out.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says "we have seen firsthand the excitement that exists for our sport in the UK."

"We are proud to be selected by the NFL to be featured in next year's international game," New England Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft said in a written statement. "I am sure our trip to the United Kingdom next year will prove to be an unforgettable experience for our players and coaches, as well as the many fans that will travel to the game."
