NFL 2023: Why Frankfurt & Not Munich? – The Truth Behind the German Capital Not Hosting International Games

Get your game face on because football fever is taking over Germany! Back in May, the NFL dropped a bombshell, revealing a lineup of 5 international games. And two of those big plays are hitting a new turf in Germany’s vibrant city of Frankfurt. Tomorrow, the Frankfurt Stadium is about to light up the gridiron, hosting its first game of the season between the powerhouse Kansas City Chiefs and the dynamic Miami Dolphins.

It’s a historic moment for Frankfurt, becoming the second German city to host an NFL game. Last season was just the kickoff—when the NFL stormed into Germany with a Week 10 showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Munich’s Allianz Arena. So why Frankfurt instead of Munich? 

Frankfurt calling: The NFL’s high-stakes switch from Munich

Sunday Night Football brings us a November showdown in Germany, where the AFC giants collide in a clash that’s set to rock the football world. The Kansas City Chiefs roll in as the reigning Super Bowl champs, ready to defend their title against the Miami Dolphins, determined to prove they’re no one-season wonder. Flying across the pond adds that spicy twist of unfamiliar territory, making this game a must-watch, even if it means an early morning alarm. 

The NFL’s been shaking things up across the pond since 2007, setting the stage for epic showdowns internationally. London has been a regular NFL host since the beginning, but with Germany stepping up as the league’s prime European market, Munich got its taste last year. Now, it’s Frankfurt’s turn in the spotlight. Why the switch? Well, the Allianz Arena is gearing up for a UEFA Champions League bout between FC Bayern and Galatasaray Istanbul just days after our NFL thriller.

But that’s not the only plot twist in this season’s playbook. Because Mexico’s Azteca Stadium is under construction, Germany’s getting two action-packed Sundays back-to-back, all in Frankfurt. It’s a game-changing move for the NFL, already committed to gracing Germany with one game a season until 2025. It’s game day galore, and Frankfurt is the epicenter of football frenzy this November!

Countdown to clash: Brady’s shadow, Mahomes’ spotlight in Germany

When Tom Brady, the NFL legend himself, calls a game ‘one of the great football experiences I’ve ever had,’ you know it’s a big deal. Last year, in the NFL’s debut regular season game in Germany, Brady—now retired—couldn’t help but label the atmosphere as ‘pretty epic.’ And this Sunday, the NFL is touching down back into Germany. Featuring Brady’s heir apparent Patrick Mahomes with a clash that’s been marked on everyone’s calendar for the 2023 season.

So, how’s this nail-biter going to unfold? Who’ll emerge victorious, and who’s going to feel the sting of defeat? It’s a full 24-hour countdown to a battle that’s going to keep us all on the edge of our seats. Prepare for the gridiron drama—it’s going to be one Sunday to remember!
