Overview
- The Indianapolis Colts face the Atlanta Falcons at the Olympiastadion on Sunday, 9 November, in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Berlin.
- NFL Germany’s Alexander Steinforth said the league expects a sellout, noting several hundred seats returned from contingents are still on sale and demand mirrors last year’s Munich game.
- Stadium chief Timo Rohwedder projects capacity “well over 70,000,” slightly below Hertha BSC setups due to NFL camera positions and buildouts.
- Published Game Week plans include an NFL Experience and Flag clinics at the Brandenburg Gate, a pop-up shop at The Playce, team houses and fan zones, and more than 20 branded Döner outlets with QR-code ticket giveaways.
- Berlin launched a five-year Flag Football funding program with local associations, and officials forecast a tourism lift including roughly 25% higher hotel occupancy, with further NFL visits planned for 2027 and 2029.
