The National Football League will reportedly be global.

After several years of experimentation, an anonymous owner told Front Office Sports that the league will have an international division.

"We don’t know if it’s going to happen in two years, five years, or whenever, but there’s going to be an international division," the owner said.

The first NFL game held outside the United States was in 2005, when the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers played in Mexico City, and every team has played internationally since, with most games being played overseas.

Rumors have swirled for years that a current team could move to England, but it seems like the NFL would lean toward adding several expansion teams there instead.

The NFL has not expanded since 2002 with the Houston Texans, and not by multiple teams in one year since 1995, when the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars came about.

But the league, already with 32 teams, seems ready for another set of franchises.
