NFL Expands to Italy with Saints, Browns

The NFL announced at its annual meeting that Italy has joined the league's Global Markets Program, with the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns being granted marketing rights in the country. This expansion brings the NFL's international market presence to 22 countries.

As part of the program, teams with marketing rights in a country typically have the opportunity to play international games there, suggesting the Browns and/or Saints could be playing in Italy in the near future.
