The NFL makes a guest appearance in Germany this weekend, with the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins facing off in Frankfurt on November 5. All developments in the news ticker.

The NFL returns to Germany. One game each is scheduled in Frankfurt in Weeks 9 and 10.

First, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Miami Dolphins on November 5, and the New England Patriots will meet the Indianapolis Colts on November 12. Both games start at 3:30 p.m.

After the NFL’s first game in Germany last year was already a complete success, the two upcoming games should also be a big football party.

In order to create the best conditions for the players, a new hybrid turf was recently laid in Deutsche Bank Park. In November 2022, there was heavy criticism of the turf in Munich, which consisted only of natural grass.

NFL in Frankfurt: Miami Dolphins three days before Kansas City Chiefs in Frankfurt

Different approach by the two teams in Frankfurt regarding travel. The Miami Dolphins board a plane as early as late afternoon (local time) and land in Frankfurt on Tuesday morning.

The Kansas City Chiefs, in turn, don’t get on a plane until Thursday in Kansas City and land in Frankfurt on Friday morning, three days later. That’s according to NFL insider Peter King.

That gives the Dolphins significantly more time to overcome jet lag and get used to the environment in Frankfurt.

NFL makes guest appearance in Frankfurt: Is Taylor Swift coming to the Chiefs game against the Dolphins?

A visit from the singer next weekend, whose romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce appears to be getting more serious, is probably unlikely. Swift kicks off her South American tour on November 9 and already missed the 9-24 loss to the Broncos in Denver.

However, there are reports suggesting otherwise. “By the way, I think I’m already hearing rumors that there’s a person who could also show up in Germany. We’ll see who shows up in Frankfurt,” said Rich Eisen of “NFL Network” on “The Rich Eisen Show.”

Recently, Frankfurt Mayor Mike Josef also commented at a press conference. “Everyone is welcome in Frankfurt. I think they do notice the harbingers. It really is a special highlight. I would be delighted,” said the SPD politician, who also clarified, “The success of the event does not stand or fall with Taylor Swift, but she is cordially invited. “

Chiefs host watch party and events on “ChampionShip “

The “ChampionShip” will open its doors on November 3 and 4. Various fan events will take place on the ship, which will dock on the Main River not far from the “Eiserner Steg”. In addition to a watch party, fans will also be able to purchase normal tickets and take a look at the boat and take photos.

For example, a small “Hall of Honor” will be set up where memorabilia will be displayed. In addition, helmet and gear can also be tried on and snapshots taken with the Vince Lombardy Trophy.

Dolphins starting Wednesday in Frankfurt, Chiefs starting Friday

The Kansas City Chiefs will not be on site until two days before the game in Frankfurt. The Miami Dolphins, on the other hand, have decided to travel earlier and will be guests on the Main starting on Wednesday
