The Giants are set to do something this season they’ve never done before, as the franchise enters its 100th season.
The Giants will play their first regular season game in Germany against the Panthers at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
It is home to Germany’s oldest and most successful soccer team, FC Bayern Munich.
The game will be played on November 10th, Week 10 of the NFL season.
The NFL released the full schedule for five international games Wednesday morning, including the Jets’ matchup in England against the Vikings.
The first regular season game in Germany in NFL history took place on November 13, 2022, when the Buccaneers defeated the Seahawks 21-16 in Munich.
Last season, two NFL games were played in Germany, both in Frankfurt.
In March, the Giants were granted international marketing rights in Germany through the NFL’s Global Markets Program.
This will allow the Giants to activate in the German market through fan engagement, events and digital content.
This game will certainly help the Giants market themselves in Germany, even if it’s a home game for the Panthers.
The Giants have the best job in Europe.
3 wins and 0 losses in regular season games played in London.
They played in their first ever International Series game in 2007, defeating the Dolphins (designated as Miami’s home game) 13–10 at Wembley Stadium in the rain. In 2016, the Giants defeated the Rams 17-10 at Twickenham Stadium, the world’s largest rugby venue. In 2022, the Giants made a comeback by defeating Aaron Rodgers’ Packers 27-22 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This moved the Giants to 4-1 in Brian Daboll’s first season as head coach.
In 1994, the Giants spent an entire week in Berlin as part of the American Bowl Series. Head coach Dan Reeves, who was in Germany that week, actually announced that Dave Brown would be the starting quarterback that season. They then played against the San Diego Chargers and won. -20 at the historic Olympiastadion.
