The New England Patriots and the Detroit Lions will meet in Munich, Germany, in Week 10, and the game will air live on NFL Network and stream on NFL+. For fans following along on a screen, that makes this one of the week’s easiest international games to find.
It is also one of the most searched matchups on the schedule because the week already comes with a few moving parts. NFL Network has seven exclusive games this season, and NFL+ Premium adds NFL RedZone with Scott Hanson, NFL Pro, and full and condensed replays, giving viewers another route to keep up when the action shifts overseas.
Sunday afternoon games are available only in local markets, so the Munich game stands apart from the usual Sunday slate. That matters in a week that also includes NFC North and AFC North divisional showdowns, along with a Sunday night meeting between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals. Both teams entered Week 10 at 6-2, with the Bengals riding four straight wins and the Steelers also on a four-game run.
The backdrop for the division race only makes the week feel busier. The Vikings made a trade-deadline move for QB Kirk Cousins from the Raiders and were in line to start him after that deal, while the Packers had just beaten the Patriots by 45 points in Week 9 and the Vikings were coming off a disappointing MNF performance against the Bills. That kind of churn is why a Week 10 international game draws attention fast: it arrives in the middle of a schedule that is already sorting out contenders and trying to hold everyone’s focus.
What comes next is simple. The Patriots-Lions game is the next confirmed stop, and for viewers who want it live, NFL Network and NFL+ are the places to watch when Munich takes center stage.
