The NFL is headed overseas in Week 8 for a matchup between the Jaguars and Broncos in London.

Jacksonville and Denver will head to Wembley Stadium to take part in the third NFL game played off of U.S. soil this season.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has already hosted two NFL games this season, with the Vikings defeating the Saints on Oct. 2 and the Giants defeating the Packers on Oct. 9.

Three weeks later, the NFL will return to Wembley Stadium — the arena that has hosted 24 American football games since the NFL began its International Series back in 2007 — for a battle between Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars and Russell Wilson and the Broncos.

If you're tuning into the game on Sunday morning, you might hear some familiar voices. Here's why ESPN's Steve Levy, Louis Riddick and Dan Orlovsky will be on the call for Jacksonville-Denver.

Why is ESPN's broadcast crew calling NFL London game?

Levy, Riddick and Orlovsky will be on the call in London because the game will be available for streaming exclusively on ESPN+.

Levy will handle play-by-play duties alongside analysts Riddick and Orlovsky, with Laura Rutledge reporting from the sidelines.

As ESPN announced in its press release back in May, this marks the first-ever NFL game that will be exclusive to ESPN's streaming service.
