With football season just around the corner, the National Football League (NFL) announced their newest initiative in China: the NFL on Tour – a large-scale truck tour that will bring a mobile audio/visual NFL experience to at least 10 cities around the country.

Visitors can expect an exclusive NFL Films video and sound experience, on-site interactive games, a chance to try on official equipment and an NFL China pop-up shop featuring official team gear. The NFL on Tour will launch on Saturday, August 30 at People’s Park in Shanghai, before coming to Beijing on September 21, September 27, and October 1.

In addition to the NFL on Tour, the NFL has announced the return of NFL Home Field to Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. The 2014 NFL Home Field season will launch on the September 13 and 14 weekend and be held every Sunday in Beijing, culminating with the star-studded University Bowl at Shanghai Luwan Stadium on November 22 and 23.

This year’s NFL Home Field promises to be an even bigger spectacle with another NFL Hall of Fame legend (Joe Montana attended in 2013) and more opportunities for visitors to get up-close and personal with the game by participating in on-field workshops and clinics, and watching tackle games featuring teams from the American Football League China (AFLC) in all three cities.
