It will be the third trip to London for the Dolphins, who faced the Oakland Raiders there earlier this season as well as the New York Giants in 2007.

The Jets never have played in London. Their last game out of the country was a 2003 pre-season game in Tokyo against the Buccaneers. The Bills and Chiefs also will be making their Wembley debuts.

"We believe we have a great 2015 schedule that will continue to attract new fans to our sport and strengthen the bonds with our existing fans," said Mark Waller, the NFL's executive vice-president of international.

"To provide UK fans he opportunity to see games on consecutive weekends, to see new teams, and to attend a division game, which feature some of the most passionate rivalries in our sport, are signs of the growth and depth of our UK fan base."

The NFL has been playing regular-season games at Wembley every year since 2007. This season was the first time the NFL played three games there.

The Jaguars have agreed to play a home game in London for four years through 2016.
