The Colts were granted marketing rights in Germany last April, as part of the league’s Global Markets Program — an initiative that awards NFL clubs international marketing rights to build brand awareness and fandom beyond the U.S., through fan engagement, events and commercial opportunities.

Beyond the NFL international games, the league is committed to growing the game at every level in Germany, engaging with fans year-round through partners, programs and initiatives. The NFL’s Global Market Program sees nine additional teams active in Germany, with some also committed to developing fandom in Austria and Switzerland. NFL Flag — the NFL’s official program for non-contact football — was also launched in Germany three years ago, with 20,000 young girls and boys participating nationwide, showcasing the league’s efforts to increase participation and inspire the next generation as flag football heads toward its debut as an Olympic sport at LA28.

The Colts’ opponent, along with game date and kickoff time, will be announced when the full 2025 NFL schedule is revealed this spring.

From 2025 the NFL can schedule up to eight league-operated regular season games internationally.

The NFL will also play two regular season games in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2025 and one game in Madrid, Spain at the Bernabéu Stadium — Home to Real Madrid C.F.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London — the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside of the U.S. — will host games featuring the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns as designated teams.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will return to Wembley Stadium in London to operate a home game, their 14th in the city, as part of their multi-year commitment to playing a game in the U.K.

Fifty-five regular season NFL games have been played around the world throughout the league’s history, with London, Munich, Frankfurt, São Paulo, Mexico City and Toronto all hosting games to date.

The Colts have played in two regular season games internationally, including London (one) and Frankfurt (one).
