"Since the whole stadium sung 'Country Roads' together at the first NFL game in Munich, American football fans from across the world feel at home here. On such days, the attention of millions of people turns to Munich, which has an excellent reputation as a sports city. FC Bayern is looking forward to the next edition; we want to be the perfect hosts again and offer all visitors an incredible experience that they will remember long after the game has ended."
"The NFL is delighted to be able to welcome the New England Patriots and the Detroit Lions to Munich in November for an exciting game in cooperation with FC Bayern and the City of Munich. Germany is an important market for the league's global growth ambitions - with almost 20 million fans it has the largest fan community in Europe. We are very much looking forward to offering NFL fans from Germany and the whole world the best NFL experience on matchday and during the entire 2026 season."
"In 2022, a total of 69,811 fans from across the world descended on the Allianz Arena for the match between the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (16-21). Two years later, a crowd of 70,132 watched the encounter between the New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers (17-20). FC Bayern players such as Manuel Neuer, Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies have also attended the NFL's international outings."
The Allianz Arena will host the third NFL game in Munich on 15 November, when the Detroit Lions face the New England Patriots at 15:30 CET. FC Bayern previously welcomed American football teams in 2022 and 2024, with another matchup scheduled for 2028 under a multiyear agreement. FC Bayern expects a strong global atmosphere, noting that American football fans feel at home in Munich and that the stadium previously sang together during the first NFL game. NFL leadership highlights Germany as a key market with nearly 20 million fans and looks forward to delivering a top matchday experience for fans during the 2026 season. Past Munich crowds reached 69,811 and 70,132.
