NFL may expand (back) into Europe, and even internationally

Proper NFL, like stickball suggested, where for example the UK/London had a team actually competing in the NFL. That would definitely take off over here, regardless of competition it faces from football and rugby. All 'home' matches for the UK team would be sold out, and  the BBC or ITV would almost certainly pick up the tv rights for the UK team's games both home and away, which would bring it right into the mainstream of UK sport. Nothing less than proper NFL will work though.

How frequent are NFL games? I couldn't see team realistically being based in London and having to go all the way to the USA, and have American teams come all the way to the UK every couple of weeks. Surely that would be too taxing on the players, and will have huge consequences for quality of play?

NFL games are once a week, usually on Sunday and sometimes Monday. Travel wouldn't be a bad as you think as long as the UK team was in one of the Eastern Divisons. An East Coast team playing a UK team would be like a West Coast team playing and East Coast team.
