Detroit Lions' 2026 Regular Season to Include a Game in Germany, NFL Says
The Lions will play their first international game since 2015 at FC Bayern Munich Stadium, enhancing ties to the DACH region where they hold marketing rights.
- The NFL announced the Detroit Lions will play a 2026 regular-season game in Munich at FC Bayern Munich Stadium, marking the team's first international contest in over a decade.
- The Lions' marketing push in Germany, driven by St. Brown's popularity, was highlighted by Lions president Rod Wood: `Germany, with the number of games that are being played there, and in particular with St. Brown's popularity, was kind of a natural thing to draft off of his popularity and vice versa, cause I know he wants to do some things over there.`
- Amon-Ra St. Brown's family ties to Germany include his mother, Miriam, from Cologne, and he hosts football camps every spring in Germany, with Lions unveiling Leo Löwe this year, Brown said.
- Detroit will be the home team for the Munich game, hosting a to-be-determined opponent while the NFL schedule release will announce the date and kickoff; league scheduling rules require teams to surrender a home game, protect three games, and allow a three-week travel window.
- This will mark the Detroit Lions' first international contest in over a decade; the NFL International Series includes nine games this fall across countries including Germany, where all five past games occurred in early November.
