The Giants need to get their passports ready. They’re off to London in 2016.
With a 35-30 loss to the Eagles in the season finale, the 6-10 Giants finished their 2015 campaign in third place in the NFC East.
Earlier in the year, the NFL confirmed three games in the 2016 UK International Series, which includes the Rams “hosting” the same-place finisher from the NFC East.
The Rams came in third in the NFC West, and thus the Giants will be traveling abroad in Week 7 of the 2016 season for the first-ever NFL game played at Twickenham Stadium.

The Giants are no strangers to London as they kicked off the International Series in 2007, the year they went on to win Super Bowl XLII, with a 13-10 victory over the Dolphins at Wembley Stadium. It was the first regular-season NFL game played outside North America.

Additionally, the Giants are now locked into a home game against the Saints. As dictated by the NFL’s scheduling formula, Big Blue was set to host the same-place finisher from the NFC South.
In April, the Giants announced their 2016 Preseason Schedule:
The NFL's scheduling formula implemented in 2002 with realignment guarantees that all teams play each other on a regular, rotating basis..
Under the formula, every team plays 16 games as follows:
Home and away against its three division opponents (6 games).
The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games).
The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games).
Two intraconference games based on the prior year’s standings (2 games). These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.
