The event will kick off the 2026 NFL season with a free immersive watch party at Flat Iron Square on the 13th September.
The New York Jets are returning to London with a special free to attend immersive fan watch party at Flat Iron Square next month.
Designed to bring Jets fans together and welcome new fans to American football, attendees will be able to watch the Jets opening game of the season against the Tennessee Titans alongside former Jets players. Fans of all teams will also be welcomed to watch Sunday’s full slate of the NFL’s week one games with a range of interactive experiences celebrating the team and bringing together the London NFL community.
Meanwhile, it has also been announced that a custom Jets mural by London-based street artist Jimmy C will be created live during the event. Guests will be able to follow the artwork as it develops, with the mural doubling as a photo backdrop before becoming a hero piece celebrating the New York Jets and the NFL in the UK once complete.
Elsewhere, a Player Stat Photo Wall will bring NFL statistics to life, inviting guests to compare their vertical jump, hand size and wingspan with those of Jets players.
The Get Ready Studio will help guests show their team pride with Jets-themed styling, including rope braiding, hair feathers and hair tinsel. Designed to be unisex and suitable for all ages, the station will give fans a way to get game-day ready. There is also a Game and Family Area so fans of all ages can enjoy Touchdown Tailgate.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring the New York Jets Touchdown Tailgate back to London as we kick off the new season,” said Hymie Elhai, President New York Jets “Our British and Irish fans bring incredible energy and passion to the Jets, and this event is about giving them an opportunity to come together and celebrate that connection to the team. Just as importantly, we want to welcome new fans, giving them a taste of the excitement, community and energy that surrounds the game.”
The New York Jets Touchdown Tailgate will take place at Flat Iron Square, 45 Southwark St, London SE1 9HP on 13th September from 15:00 to late. Attendees will not require a ticket to enter, but can register their attendance for free through New York Jets Fan Club (NYJFC) to unlock priority access and a giveaway item upon arrival at the event.
