The Indianapolis Colts today announced several events leading into the NFL's 2025 Berlin Game, where the Colts will host the Atlanta Falcons at historic Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany on Sun., Nov. 9.
The NFL has played five exhibition games (1990-94) at Olympic Stadium, but this will be the first regular season NFL game in Berlin. The stadium played host to the 1936 Summer Olympics, which featured the groundbreaking achievements of American track star Jesse Owens.
The 2025 Berlin Game will mark the Colts' third time playing in the NFL's International Series. The Colts previously played games in Mexico (2000 preseason), Japan (2005 preseason), Canada (2010 preseason), England (2016) and Germany (2023). The Colts are the first NFL team to play multiple regular season games in Germany.
