The NFL is returning to Munich with regular-season games scheduled for 2026 and 2028.

The league now has a multiyear partnership with the German city and FC Bayern Munich and the upcoming games are to be set in the soccer team's stadium, which also hosted the NFL in 2022 and 2024.

Under the agreement, the NFL will help the city to grow and develop flag football in Germany.

The NFL labeled Germany 'a key market for the NFL globally, with more than 20 million fans of the game, the largest fanbase in Europe.'

'Germany is of huge strategic importance for the NFL in Europe, and our return to Munich signals the league's long-term commitment to playing games in the market,' said Alexander Steinforth, general manager of NFL DACH, which serves Germany, Austria and Switzerland. 'As the first host of regular season games in Germany, Munich holds a very special place in the hearts of our fans and we look forward to continuing to create memorable experiences for them while building a year-round NFL presence across this city and country.'

The league already has scheduled regular-season games for Germany's capital, Berlin, in 2027 and 2029.

The NFL is building its roster of international games for the upcoming seasons, and already has announced two games in London, one in Rio de Janeiro and one in Melbourne, Australia, for 2026. The Los Angeles Rams have been named the home team for the Australia game.

Germany has hosted five NFL games previously, dating back to the 2022 season.
