Guten Tag, Germany.

The Falcons will play one of their regular-season road games in Berlin this season, facing the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 9 at Olympic Stadium, the NFL announced Tuesday morning.

The game is part of the NFL’s International Games and kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. EST on NFL Network in Week 10.

It will be the NFL’s first regular-season matchup played in Berlin and the third international game for the Falcons in the last five seasons. The Falcons are 1-2 in international games, including a 23-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at London’s Wembley Stadium in 2023. The Falcons defeated the New York Jets, 27-20, at Tottenham Stadium in London in 2021.

Through the NFL’s Global Markets Program, the Falcons became the fifth team to be awarded marketing rights in Germany, for at least a five-year term.

The Falcons’ full schedule will be revealed Wednesday night.
