NFL reveals Indianapolis Colts' opponent for international matchup in Germany

The Indianapolis Colts will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10 during the NFL’s first-ever game in Berlin, Germany this season.

The game will be played at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium.

“The Colts are proud to be part of this landmark event in one of the world’s most historic cities,” Colts Owner & CEO Jim Irsay said via the team site back in January.

This matchup will be the Colts’ third abroad game since the NFL International series began. In 2016, the Colts were the away team against Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium in London. Then, recently, during the 2023 season, the Colts were the visitor vs. New England at Frankfurt Stadium in Germany.

The Falcons are coming off an 8-9 season and seem prepared to move on to second-year quarterback Michael Penix, although Kirk Cousins remains on the roster.

While the 2024 season isn’t indicative of what 2025 will look like, of note, the Falcons’ offense ranked 14th in points per game last year and eighth in yards per play. The defense was 23rd in points per game and 19th in yards per play.
