Three days to Wembley: Texans–Jaguars fan zones, Tealwood nights and gameday timings

Three days out from the last London game of 2026, Wembley’s own gameday guide and the clubs’ UK pages have locked in a full fan footprint around Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars. Kickoff is 2:30 p.m. British Summer Time (9:30 a.m. Eastern) on Sunday, October 18 — distinct from the broadcast countdown already on WhyNFL. This is the street-level calendar: pub takeovers midweek, stadium fan zones on Sunday, and the access times Wembley Stadium posted this week.

Wembley access and gameday timings

Wembley’s Jacksonville Jaguars page lists hospitality access from 11:30 a.m. and general-admission doors from 12:30 p.m. for the 2:30 p.m. kickoff. The stadium is cashless for food and drink inside, runs the NFL clear-bag policy, and reminds fans that Brent Council’s Public Spaces Protection Order still bans street drinking on Olympic Way and the surrounding area on event days.

Travel note from the same Wembley guide: there are no major planned rail disruptions on Sunday, but TfL’s A41 Brent Cross flyover works have cut traffic to one lane each way, which can slow road approaches.

Stadium fan zones on Sunday

• Beers & Bites (Green Car Park South): 9:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m., then again from the fourth quarter until 9:30 p.m. Food, drink, live entertainment, competitions, appearances from THE ROAR and Jaguars legends; Jaguars UK flags it as one of the only places to drink beer pregame, with NFL RedZone from DAZN on the screens after the game.
• DUUUVAL Market (Green Car Park North): 9:30 a.m.–2:00 p.m., then from the fourth quarter until two hours after the final whistle. Fanatics retail for all 32 clubs plus International Games merch.
• East Den / The Den (East Concourse): 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Final food-and-drink stop before entering the bowl.
• Olympic Way activations: 10:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m. Partner stands with challenges, card trading, sampling and giveaways.
• JagTag presented by AO (Engineers Way): 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Flag-football clinic for ages 8–18, with Jaguars talent and THE ROAR appearances.

Brent Council’s Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee approved Wembley National Stadium Ltd’s one-day licence for the Green Car Park fan zone on October 12. Coverage of that hearing put capacity under 3,250 and noted a four-drink alcohol limit with Challenge 25 enforcement.

Jaguars Tealwood nights still left this week

On the Jaguars UK London Game Week page, Greenwood Sports Pub & Kitchen at 170 Victoria Street hosts the remaining Tealwood Takeovers after the club’s earlier Tottenham week:

• Thursday, October 15, 6:00–9:00 p.m.: Sky Sports’ Jason Bell and Phoebe Schecter, Absolute Radio’s Jay Lawrence hosting a Jaguars-themed pub quiz, plus THE ROAR and Union Jaxson.

The Wembley store at the stadium is open 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. on October 15–17 and 9:30 a.m.–7:00 p.m. on gameday. The NFL Shop on Oxford Street runs through October 19.

Texans base at Redwood by London Bridge

The Houston Texans’ London 2026 hub and DAZN’s Week 6 London fan-events guide put Bull Pen LDN at Redwood Sports Pub & Kitchen (SE1 9SP, outside London Bridge) as the club’s midweek home, with a pop-up shop and Swarm programming Thursday through Sunday. Highlights still ahead:

• Friday, October 16, 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.: Toro activation at the ArcelorMittal Orbit in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with a stunt timed for 11:00 a.m.

• Saturday, October 17: Traveling Texans city photo at Tower Bridge Viewing Point around 12:30–1:30 p.m., then Redwood’s big day from 1:00–10:00 p.m. — cheerleader Two-Step tutorial, legends meet-and-greet, DJ, pep rally and live music.
• Sunday, October 18: Traveling Texans Wembley group photo at 12:30 p.m.; Redwood opens at 11:00 a.m. for a 1:00–2:00 p.m. pregame tailgate and a watch party from kickoff to about 5:00 p.m. for fans without tickets.

Where this sits on the international map

Texans–Jaguars closes the three-game London slate after Tottenham hosted Colts–Commanders and Eagles–Jaguars. The league calendar’s next international stop is October 25 in Paris (Steelers–Saints at Stade de France), then Madrid, Munich and Mexico City later in the fall. Fall League Meetings open in New York on October 20–21, two days after Wembley.
