NFL games will be held in Germany again this year. An NFL game will be played in Frankfurt in November – but it shouldn’t stop there.
Attention American football fans in Frankfurt: Two NFL games are now to be played in Frankfurt. This is reported by the “image”. The league has not officially confirmed the report.
NFL boss Roger Goodell already promised more American football games in Germany in Phoenix before the Super Bowl. “We’re confident that we’ll be there beyond the agreement we made just a year ago,” Goodell said in Phoenix before the Super Bowl: “I think you’ll see more games than we did for already committed to us.”
According to the “Bild” report, the games in Frankfurt should take place on November 12th and 19th. This has one key benefit: organizing the games is so much easier than having to ship all the equipment needed for an NFL game to two different cities. On November 19, Deutsche Bank Park will be available for the international soccer break. In the week before, Eintracht Frankfurt would then have to play an away game so that the footballers have space.
Will NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes play in Frankfurt in November?
The head of NFL Germany, Alexander Steinforth, told the newspaper that he could not comment on the data. “But of course there are certain weekends. It depends on many factors. We have to see what makes the most sense and which teams are involved.” Apparently, the league favors playing the games Kansas City Chiefs against Chicago Bears and New England Patriots against the New Orleans Saints in Frankfurt. Will NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes play in Frankfurt soon?
The confirmation of the league is expected in the night from Sunday to Monday. Last year, details about the NFL game in Munich were announced around the Super Bowl. The exact pairings should not be officially known until May. Then the schedule for the new season will be published.
70,000 NFL fans celebrated in Munich in 2022
NFL fans showed how big American football is in Germany last year in Munich. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers around superstar Tom Brady, who has since retired, beat the Seattle Seahawks 21:16. Almost 70,000 football fans celebrated a furious NFL party.
The fact that games will be held in Germany again in 2023 is due to the renovation work in the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City for the 2026 World Cup. The NFL has therefore awarded the Mexico game to Germany for the coming season.
