The fixture marked the start of a multi-year commitment by the league to stage regular-season games in Germany. Following that initial matchup, the NFL scheduled games across different venues, expanding the international footprint into Frankfurt and Berlin over subsequent seasons.

Chiefs and Colts won games in Frankfurt

Frankfurt hosted a pair of contests at Deutsche Bank Park during the 2023 season. Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins 21-14 on November 5, 2023, built on a first-half surge where Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes to establish a 21-0 lead before Miami narrowed the deficit.

One week later on November 12, 2023, the Indianapolis Colts earned a 10-6 victory over the New England Patriots. Jonathan Taylor scored the game’s sole touchdown, while Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was benched in the final quarter following an interception.

Overtime finishes in Munich and Berlin

Munich returned to the schedule on November 10, 2024, when the Carolina Panthers defeated the New York Giants 20-17 in overtime. New York running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. lost a fumble on the opening snap of the extra period, setting up Eddy Pineiro for a 36-yard winning field goal.

Berlin hosted its first regular-season game on November 9, 2025, at the Olympiastadion, where the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Atlanta Falcons 31-25 in overtime. Taylor recorded 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns, securing the victory with an eight-yard scoring run in the extra session.

Future fixtures through 2029

The league has confirmed at least three additional regular-season games in Germany following the matchup between the New England Patriots and the Detroit Lions at the Allianz Arena in Munich on November 15, 2026. Berlin will host games in 2027 and 2029, while Munich is scheduled to host another game in 2028, bringing the total number of regular-season games played in Germany to nine by the end of 2029.
