Fans arrive during the 2024 NFL Munich Game between the New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers at Allianz Arena.

Week 10's clash between the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons may be the first NFL game in Berlin, but it's also the fifth to take place in Germany. The NFL has played at least one game in Germany each of the last three seasons – including two in 2023.

Last year, the Carolina Panthers defeated the New York Giants, 20-17, in front of more than 70,000 fans at Allianz Arena in Munich. It was the second game in the NFL International Series' history to be decided in overtime.
