BERLIN, GERMANY – The National Football League announced Wednesday that the Indianapolis Colts will play as the designated team in the first-ever regular season game in Berlin, as part of the 2025 International Games.
The 2025 NFL Berlin game will be played at the Olympic Stadium as part of a multi-year commitment to playing games in the sports metropolis. The NFL played five American Bowl games at the Olympic Stadium between 1990 and 1994, and it was also home to NFL Europe’s Berlin Thunder from 2003-07.
“The NFL is making history in Berlin, and the Colts are proud to be part of this landmark event in one of the world’s most historic cities,” said Colts Owner/CEO Jim Irsay. “The NFL has become a global brand, and we’re looking forward to growing American football and expanding Colts Nation around the world.”
The Colts were granted marketing rights in Germany last April, as part of the league’s Global Markets Program, an initiative awarding NFL clubs international marketing rights to build brand awareness and fandom beyond the U.S., through fan engagement, events, and commercial opportunities.
The Colts’ opponent, game date, and kickoff time will be announced when the full 2025 NFL schedule is revealed this spring.
