 — As the home team, The Atlanta Falcons have been chosen to play in one of the NFL's international games in 2025 and will face the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 9 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, the league announced Tuesday.

Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET, which is 3:30 p.m. locally in Berlin. All action will air live on NFL Network.

The historic venue, which was built for the 1936 Summer Olympics, has hosted four NFL exhibition games. This will be its first-ever, regular-season event.

This marks the second time the Falcons will face the Colts on international grounds. The two teams previously met for a preseason game in Tokyo, Japan, in 2005. The Falcons beat the Colts 27-21 in that game with both Michael Vick and Peyton Manning playing the full first quarter.


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Munich in 2022 in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Germany.

The NFL played five American Bowl games at Olympic Stadium between 1990 and 1994, and it also was home to NFL Europe’s Berlin Thunder from 2003-07.


The game in Berlin in 2025 will mark the fifth regular-season contest to be played in Germany. The league has played games in Frankfurt and Munich since 2022.
