The Indianapolis Colts are making history by playing a home game in Berlin, Germany during the 2025 regular season. This exciting announcement is part of the NFL’s initiative to bring the game to international fans, and the Colts are thrilled to be a part of it. The game will be played at the iconic Olympic Stadium in Berlin, which has a rich history of hosting football games, including five American Bowl games between 1990 and 1994.
The Colts were chosen as the designated team for this game as part of the NFL’s Global Markets Program, which grants teams international marketing rights to build brand awareness and fandom beyond the US. The team has a strong connection to Germany, with former player Björn Werner serving as the official “Colts Ambassador” in Germany and Austria. Current players Bernhard Raimann and Marcel Dabo also have German roots, making this game a special one for the team.
The opponent, game date, and kickoff time for the Berlin game will be announced when the full 2025 NFL schedule is revealed this spring. Fans can register for information and updates on the game at (link unavailable). The Colts will still host eight regular-season home games and one preseason home game at Lucas Oil Stadium in 2025, so fans in the US won’t miss out on any action.
The NFL is committed to growing the game at every level in Germany, and this game is a major step in that direction. With the league’s Global Market Program, teams are working to build a strong fan base in Germany, and the Colts are excited to be a part of it. The team will also be hosting fan events and activities in Berlin leading up to the game, so fans can expect a fun and festive atmosphere.
This game is a great opportunity for the Colts to expand their fan base and grow the sport of football in Germany. With the team’s strong connection to the country and the NFL’s commitment to international growth, this game is sure to be an exciting and memorable one. ¹ ² ³
