Overview
- The Indianapolis Colts face the Atlanta Falcons on November 9 in the NFL’s first regular‑season game in Berlin, staged at the Olympiastadion.
- Organizers expect well over 70,000 fans and a near sell‑out, though blocks of tickets remain available after price hikes drew criticism.
- Stadium works include enlarged locker rooms, widened doors, added showers and toilets, a resized 117x66 meter field with new goalposts, and a new sensory room.
- Berlin has allocated €12.5 million for this and future games in 2027 and 2029, with €5 million earmarked for facility upgrades and the NFL contributing about €48 million; the city projects roughly 25% higher hotel occupancy for the weekend.
- Game Week features an NFL Experience and flag football at the Brandenburg Gate (Nov 6–8), an official shop at Potsdamer Platz, team fan hubs across the city, branded Döner promotions with ticket giveaways, and a halftime performance by The Kid Laroi.
