Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has stated he would welcome the opportunity to participate in the NFL's first regular-season game in Tokyo. The comment comes as the league continues exploring international expansion opportunities.

Burrow, who has led the Bengals to multiple playoff appearances since being drafted first overall in 2020, made the remarks amid growing speculation about the NFL scheduling a game in Japan. The league has previously held regular-season games in London, Mexico City, and Germany as part of its International Series.

No official date or opponent has been announced for a potential Tokyo game. The NFL has been evaluating several international markets for future expansion of its global footprint.
