When the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders meet in London on Oct. 14, they'll do so in Wembley Stadium instead of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as originally planned, NFL UK announced Monday.

When the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders meet in London on Oct. 14, they'll do so in Wembley Stadium instead of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as originally planned, NFL UK announced Monday.

The move is required because of construction issues at the new stadium, a 62,062-seat venue being built for Tottenham of the Premier League.

Tottenham already has moved its Sept. 15 and Oct. 6 games to Wembley.

"Recent testing and commissioning have now shown issues with the critical safety systems," according to a statement from the club.

The NFL has three consecutive London games planned for 2018. Following the Seahawks-Raiders on Oct. 14 (1 p.m. ET, FOX), the Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Chargers will meet on Oct. 21 (9:30 a.m. ET, CBS), with the Philadelphia Eagles and Jackson Jaguars playing on Oct. 28 (9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network).

The other games already were scheduled for Wembley Stadium.

Additionally, the NFL will have one game in Mexico City. The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams will meet Nov. 19 (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN).
