NFL announces date, opponent for Patriots’ November game in Germany
The National Football League on Wednesday announced a date and opponent for the New England Patriots’ Week 10 game in Frankfurt, Germany.
New England will square off with the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 12, 2023, at 3:30 p.m., marking the Patriots’ first in Germany as part of the 2023 NFL International Games.
The Patriots’ visit to Germany will mark the team’s first time playing a home international game. Since the launch of the international series in 2007, the Patriots have played three international games, including two in London and one in Mexico, and have won all three games.
In 2021, the Patriots were awarded Germany as an official “home market” through the International Home Marketing Area (IHMA) initiative which has allowed the team to grow its fan base abroad and develop additional opportunities for marketing, fan engagement, and business development including in-person and digital marketing opportunities, corporate sponsorships, and events in a new market.
Last month, the Patriots were awarded Austria and Switzerland as official “home markets,” in addition to Germany.
“Germany has some of the most passionate sports fans in the world and has always been an international leader in enthusiasm for American football and the NFL,” said Robert Kraft, Chairman and CEO of the New England Patriots. “I’m thrilled to play a home game in this new market and to continue to build upon our team’s long history and engagement with German fans. Our goal is to connect with fans at the local level and I look forward to expanding that fan base and fostering additional relationships and opportunities for partnership in Germany as well as Austria and Switzerland.”
The Kansas City Chiefs will also host the Miami Dolphins in Germany.
