The health emergency caused by COVID-19 altered the plans for the National Football League in their international calendars. In 2020, the Arizona Cardinals were scheduled to be local at the Azteca Stadium, however, the levels of infections and deaths from the virus forced the show to be canceled, with the promise of returning in 2021, although that did not happen either.

In that year, the NFL did have games in the United Kingdom, but they ruled out Mexico days before the calendar was announced because they saw the health situation in the country as “a risk.” Therefore, that was the second consecutive year in which there was no activity in the capital, waiting for 2022 to end the bad streak in the face of a desired better scenario against the coronavirus.
