To help grow international fandom around the world, clubs can participate in the NFL’s Global Markets Program — an initiative that awards NFL clubs international marketing rights to build brand awareness and fandom beyond the U.S., through fan engagement, events and commercial opportunities. Currently all 32 clubs participate in the program across 21 international markets, showcasing the continued appetite to reach NFL fans across the globe.

Last year, international fans representing each of the 32 teams attended the 2025 NFL Draft — where Miami Dolphins’ Fan of the Year Lucas Rossetti was proudly crowned the 2024 Ultimate International Fan of the Year.
