The NFL views international games as a key catalyst in its push to become a "true global sport property" and will hold a record seven international games this season amid growing demand from fans abroad, a top league executive said.

The NFL has long made expanding its fanbase overseas central to its business strategy and said years of groundwork in media and grassroots efforts are paying off as it prepares to play games in five different countries.
