The Late Window

NFL International Series 2026

Munich closes the European series.

Patriots v Lions at the Allianz Arena on Sunday 15 November — the last of the six European games, and reliably the loudest.

Germany has become the NFL's strongest market outside North America, and Munich games have a reputation: a full Allianz Arena, and a crowd that sings long after the final whistle.

This one closes out the 2026 European series. Kickoff is 15:30 CET, which means no alarm, no sleep debt, and no need to avoid your phone all morning — a rare combination for a German NFL fan.

The other 18 weeks

Then the NFL goes back to happening at 4am

The European games are the easy part. For the rest of the season the schedule is brutal on this side of the Atlantic: the Sunday late window kicks off at 21:25 UK time, Sunday Night Football at 01:20, and Monday Night Football finishes around breakfast on Tuesday.

That's what this newsletter is for. Every Monday at 07:00 UK time you get the whole weekend — every result with the story behind it, the plays everyone is arguing about, the injuries that matter, and which games are worth losing sleep over next week.
