The New York Giants and Carolina Panthers will close the 2024 NFL International Series with a game in Munich on Sunday, and commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFL is working on adding a game in Berlin in 2025.
In fact, Goodell said Saturday the prospects are strong of playing a game in the German capital city next season.
“I usually say don’t believe rumors,” Goodell said Saturday at a fan event in Munich. “In this case, I say believe them.”
The league entered the German market in November 2022 with a game in Munich, and in 2023, Frankfurt Stadium hosted two games in that city.
Allianz Stadium in Munich is sold out for the Giants-Panthers clash, with about 70,000 seats to be filled.
The NFL International Series saw a game in Brazil and three in London this year, as well.
Plans call for eight games to be played outside the United States each year beginning in 2025, with more on tap when the NFL turns to an 18-game annual schedule.
