LONDON (AP) — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the league hopes to start playing multiple regular season games in Britain in the next few years. He also says putting an NFL franchise in London is of "tremendous interest."

Goodell says "every indicator" shows the British market can support more games, but stopped short of giving a timeline for expanding the NFL's overseas presence.

Goodell spoke at a sports conference Friday, two days before the New England Patriots play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Wembley Stadium. It's the third year in a row the NFL is staging a regular season game in London.

Goodell said if interest continues to grow, the NFL could have a franchise in London.\
