The Detroit Lions are set to face the New England Patriots in Munich as part of the NFL's International Series in Germany. The matchup continues the league's expansion of regular-season games in Europe, with Munich hosting its latest NFL contest.
According to USA TODAY reporting by David Hoffman, the game is scheduled for November 8, 2026. The NFL Germany series has drawn significant fan interest since its inception, with previous games in Munich and Frankfurt selling out rapidly.
Both teams will look to capitalize on the international exposure while maintaining focus on their respective season objectives. The Lions and Patriots each bring distinct offensive and defensive schemes to the Bavarian capital, offering European fans a showcase of NFL competition.
