The National Football League (NFL) is actually based in North America - for now.

There are ideas to expand the league to Europe.

Munich – It's the biggest football festival Germany has ever seen.

For the first time, a league game of the National Football League (NFL) will take place in Munich.

In the converted Allianz Arena, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and legend Tom Brady meet the Seattle Seahawks.

In the sold-out stadium, many fans witness a day steeped in history.

The dream of seeing a football game live will come true for many.

The demand for the tickets was corresponding.

NFL game in Munich: Soon also a team from Europe?

The head of the NFL is Roger Goodell and he's out to expand the market.

Football games have been held in London for years, and with Germany another country is coming.

Rumors have been circulating for a long time that the league will be expanded to include other locations.

And not only in the USA, but also in Europe.

There will always be international games anyway.

Frankfurt and Munich alternate with the orientation.

But will there soon be a German NFL team?

"Eventually it's going to happen somehow, I think.

There are many cities that could host an NFL game and where an NFL franchise could be based," Goodell said at a fan meeting in Munich on Saturday.

In the end, however, due to the long overseas trips, it is also a question of competition.

"We're going through different scenarios right now," Goodell continued. 

NFL game of the Buccaneers and Seahawks absolute premiere

On Sunday (3:30 p.m. / ProSieben and DAZN) the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Seattle Seahawks will take place as the first NFL main round game in Germany.

Munich will share three more regular season games with Frankfurt over the next three years.

In Europe, and especially in Germany, there is a huge market for the NFL, Goodell said.

There will still be some water flowing down the Isar, but who would have thought a few years ago that Tom Brady would play a game in the Allianz Arena?

Anything is possible in the NFL.
