The two Germany games in 2023 will take place in Frankfurt/Main. This means that Munich is out as a venue this year, where the first official NFL game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks (21:16) was played on German soil in 2022 in the Allianz Arena.
As the NFL confirmed, both dates for the 2023 NFL games in Frankfurt/Main have been set. The Kansas City Chiefs meet the Miami Dolphins on November 5 at Eintracht Frankfurt Stadium. The New England Patriots will play the Indianapolis Colts on November 12th.
NFL Germany boss Dr. Alexander Steinforth: “It depends on many factors”
According to “Bild”, the NFL delegation will be accommodated in the five-star JW Marriott hotel in the city center. The background to the decision in favor of Frankfurt is the logistical effort. The NFL entourage does not have to move to another city within a week.
“We’re not going to have an international game on Thanksgiving, Christmas or the season opener. It depends on a lot of factors though. We have to look at what makes the most sense and which teams are there,” explained Dr. Alexander Steinforth some time ago, who wants to drive NFL growth with the TV switch to RTL.
RTL shows both Germany games of the NFL on free TV
ProSiebenSat.1 has been reporting on the American football league with ranNFL since 2012. With great success, because ranNFL built up a large German football community with Patrick “Coach” Esume, Christoph “Icke” Dommisch, Björn Werner and other colleagues.
Starting this season, RTL will take over the broadcasting rights on free TV and will show the NFL games from the 2023/24 season. “By acquiring the NFL rights, we are strengthening our programs for many years to come,” said Henning Tewes, Managing Director of RTL Television and Chief Content Officer of RTL Germany.
