However, one facet of the sport that hasn't made it across the pond yet is college football. Until now, that is.

Later this year, American college football is coming to the UK via the Union Jack Classic, with Kansas and Arizona-based universities being the first to face off.

Union Jack Classic is set to be more than just a sports game, as it'll feature American traditions such as pep band rallies, a halftime show and more.

It's an historic moment in global sports. Here's how you can get your hands on tickets today.

You can also currently get tickets for AEW All In, as well as Women's Six Nations tickets.
