NFL Announces Regular-Season Games in Berlin Through 2029

The league extends its commitment to Germany, with Berlin set to host up to three games as part of a growing international strategy.

  • Berlin will host its first-ever NFL regular-season game in 2025 at the historic Olympic Stadium, marking the league's return to the city after decades.
  • The NFL plans to hold at least five games in Germany through 2029, with up to three scheduled in Berlin and others potentially in Munich or Frankfurt.
  • Germany has become the NFL's top international growth market, boasting nearly 20 million fans and record-breaking TV ratings for events like the Super Bowl.
  • The Berlin games are expected to generate significant economic benefits, with estimates projecting a quarter-billion euros in value over five years, despite criticism over public funding for the events.
  • Participating teams and schedules for the Berlin games will be announced in the coming months, with strong interest from teams holding German market rights, such as the Detroit Lions.
