NFL’s 106th Season Opens With Eagles vs. Cowboys, Live on RTL

German viewers have expanded free-TV access alongside an enlarged international schedule.

Overview

  • The season-opening game features the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys on Friday at 2:20 a.m. German time, airing live on RTL and available on DAZN.
  • RTL carries weekly free-TV games (also on RTL+), with NITRO showing PatriotsRaiders at 19:00 and Seahawks–49ers at 22:25 on the first Sunday, while DAZN streams all Week 1 games with conference coverage.
  • The NFL expands to seven regular-season games outside the U.S., including Berlin’s Olympiastadion hosting Colts–Falcons on November 9 and the Chiefs playing the Chargers in São Paulo in the German night to Saturday at 2:00 a.m.
  • New rules take effect: kickoff touchbacks now place the ball at the 35-yard line, and regular-season overtime guarantees each team at least one possession.
  • German representation on 53-man rosters remains limited to Amon‑Ra St. Brown and Brandon Coleman, as broader interest grows with news of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s engagement.
