Niners-Broncos in London in 2010
Advertisements [?]
LONDON (AP) -- The San Francisco 49ers will play the Denver Broncos next season at Wembley Stadium, the fourth straight year the NFL will stage a regular-season game in the British capital.

The game will played on Oct. 31, and the 49ers will be listed as the home team.

"For the past three years we have seen the extraordinary passion that exists for NFL football in the U.K.," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "We want to continue to build on that passion by strengthening our ties to our existing U.K. fans and creating new ones."

The game between the five-time Super Bowl champion 49ers and two-time winner Broncos may not be the only one in Britain next season.

"The NFL will continue to explore the possibility of playing a second game in the UK in 2010," the NFL said.

The 49ers and Broncos struggled to 8-8 records this season and missed the playoffs.
