On the wall of a residential building at the Savignyplatz S-Bahn station, a huge mural depicting former NFL player Björn Werner on the right draws attention to the upcoming NFL football match between the Atlanta Falcons and the Indianapolis Colts.
The first NFL Berlin Game brings American football to the capital. The Indianapolis Colts meet the Atlanta Falcons in the Berlin premiere.
In November, the NFL will be a guest at Berlin's Olympic Stadium. The Indianapolis Colts will play the Atlanta Falcons as the host team in the Olympic Stadium. Numerous football fans from Germany and abroad are expected to bring the stadium to a boil.
Around the game, Berlin transforms into a football stronghold, with team pubs, fan zones, and even an NFL kebab stand. In the week before kickoff, the Colts Fan Zone at the Center am Potsdamer Platz creates a football atmosphere in the city. From November 5 to 9, it will be the central meeting place for all NFL fans, attracting visitors with public viewing, free hands-on activities, raffles, and live performances. Meet-and-greets with Colts legends are also on the program. Another fan zone will be set up at the Brandenburg Gate. In addition, there will be a large public viewing event at the Uber Eats Music Hall on game day itself.
A mini flag football tournament will take place at the Brandenburg Gate starting on November 6. Football fans can show off their skills and win prizes at the tournament. On November 8, the NFL and Special Olympics Berlin will host an inclusive flag football tournament at the Sportforum Hohenschönhausen. From 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., teams of athletes with and without disabilities will compete together.
