Aaron Rodgers heading to London as NFL confirms first game in Germany

The first regular-season NFL game in Germany will be between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks at the home of Bayern Munich.

The game will take place at the Allianz Arena on 13 November, the NFL said Wednesday. Frankfurt will also stage a regular-season game in Germany during the next four years.

Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady could become the first quarterback to start an NFL game in four countries. He won two games with the New England Patriots in London and another in Mexico City.

The schedule for the three NFL games in London next season was also announced, with the Green Bay Packers becoming the final team to play in Europe.

The Packers will take on the New York Giants on 9 October at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, a week after the Minnesota Vikings play the New Orleans Saints at the same venue.

“Our fan base in the UK has always been extremely loyal and passionate,” Giants chief commercial officer Pete Guelli said. “The organization has had two memorable games in front of the London fans, and we look forward to engaging with them leading up to the game this fall.”

On 30 October, Wembley Stadium will host the Denver Broncos against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who played games there for seven straight seasons until 2019 before playing at Tottenham last year.

The final international game of 2022 will be between the San Francisco 49ers and the Arizona Cardinals on 21 November in Mexico City.
