Citywide fan activations, a marquee halftime act and national broadcasts highlight how the league is building overseas markets before expanding its international slate.

Overview

  • The first NFL regular-season game in Berlin kicks off Sunday, Nov. 9 at 3:30 p.m. at the Olympiastadion, with The Kid Laroi confirmed for the halftime show and live coverage on RTL and DAZN.
  • Official channels still show tickets available through Ticketmaster, with the lowest remaining prices around €250 and top categories near €375, and stadium capacity set at roughly 72,000 after event-specific changes.
  • Berlin is hosting an extensive game-week program including a Colts fanzone at Potsdamer Platz, an NFL Experience at the Brandenburg Gate, team pubs, a large temporary NFL store, a giant mural unveiling and an RTL watch party at the Uber Eats Music Hall.
