(Reuters) - The NFL will play a regular season game in Berlin for the first time in 2025 as part of an effort to expand its global footprint, the league said on Wednesday.

The fixture, which will be played at Olympic Stadium, will mark the fifth regular season game held in Germany after the National Football League has held matches in Munich and Frankfurt since 2022.
