Patriots and Lions to Meet at Munich's Allianz Arena on Sunday

The New England Patriots will travel to Munich to play the Detroit Lions at the Allianz Arena on Sunday, Nov. 15, with kickoff scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET. The contest will be shown on Fox and Fox Deportes, and streamed via Fubo’s free-to-watch option. Joe Davis will handle play-by-play duties, Greg Olsen will provide color commentary, and Pam Oliver will report from the field.

Cage the Elephant, a two-time Grammy winner, is slated to perform during halftime. The band’s upcoming album “Dying in Reverse” is set for release on Feb. 5, and its latest single is titled “Make it Easy.”

The game marks the penultimate international regular-season matchup of the 2026 NFL season. The league’s previous games in Germany have taken place at the Allianz Arena in 2022 and 2024, as well as in Frankfurt and Berlin.

New England, currently 5-4, ranks 14th in scoring offense and 15th in scoring defense. Quarterback Drake Maye leads the team with 18 passing touchdowns but also holds the league-high 11 interceptions. The Patriots are dealing with injuries to running back Rhamondre Stevenson and receiver Romeo Doubs, among others.

Detroit, at 6-2, sits fifth in scoring offense and 17th in scoring defense. Quarterback Jared Goff has thrown 15 touchdowns to two interceptions, while running back Jahmyr Gibbs leads the league in scrimmage yards. The Lions’ defense features a strong pass rush from Alim McNeill, Aidan Hutchinson and DJ Wonnum, each recording at least five sacks.

Sports betting analyst Nick Kostos favors the Lions in the upcoming matchup, noting the NFC North’s overall performance this season.
