The NFL has announced it will open an NFL Academy in Australia in September 2024 to service the Asia-Pacific region.

The league continues to invest in long-term global football development efforts and pathways for international talent.

The academies are a global initiative by the NFL offering athletes the opportunity to combine full-time education alongside intensive training in American football.

The NFL Academy will be based at A.B. Paterson College in south-east Queensland on Australia's Gold Coast.
