The NFL is considering holding a game in a new international market aside from London, England, and Germany, and it could happen next season.

According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN), NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday at a fan forum in London that an international game could take place in a new location "as early as next year."

While Goodell offered no additional specifics, he said representatives from "three or four" other markets are in London to watch Sunday's game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills.

Goodell did not reveal which markets are in the running, but NFL officials recently visited both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil, and Madrid, Spain, to explore their viability as host cities.
