FLOWERY BRANCH — The NFL is looking forward to holding its first regular-season game in Berlin when the Falcons play the Colts on Sunday at Olympic Stadium.

“Five international games so far, Sao Paulo, Dublin, London, they’ve been incredible,” said Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s executive vice president of club business, international and league events. “We’re really excited to finish up with these games in two new amazing cities, Berlin and Madrid. Games in three new cities in ‘25 really underscores the momentum and the ever increasing global nature of our game. These games are a real catalyst.”
