Although NFL exhibition games have been played in Canada since 1950, it was not until the Bills Toronto Series that a regular-season NFL game was played north of the border, on December 7, 2008. NFL games have been played outside the United States regularly since 2005 with Fútbol Americano (a one-off regular season game in Mexico City) and the 2007 debut of the NFL International Series, which has promoted regular-season games in London. Both of those events were separate from the Toronto Series, in that the Toronto Series was orchestrated by an individual team while the other regular season games were orchestrated by the league.
