The NFL has held at least one regular-season international game every year since 2007 (excluding the 2020 COVID-19 season). Through 2015, all those games were held in London at Wembley Stadium. In 2016, the NFL started diversifying, holding a game in Mexico City while taking advantage of several other London soccer stadiums like Twickenham Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The NFL added Germany games in 2022, holding a contest in Munich and then in Frankfort in 2023. In 2024, the league beefed up its international schedule once again, holding a regular season game in Brazil.
This will be the Colts’ third international game in recent years and second in Germany. In 2016, they were the designated away team against the Jacksonville Jaguars for a game in London at Wembley Stadium. Then in 2023 they played the New England Patriots at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfort.
Now they get the honor of being the designated home team for the NFL’s first regular-season game in Germany’s capital city.
