Panthers to play Giants in Germany

For the second time in franchise history, the Carolina Panthers will play an international regular season game.

The Panthers will play the New York Giants on Nov. 10 in Munich, Germany as part of the NFL’s series of international games. The league has a game in Brazil and three in England scheduled in 2024.

“We are looking forward to welcoming the NFL to our Allianz Arena for the second time,” chief marketing officer of FC Bayern Munich Andreas Jung said through a statement with the Panthers.

“The match in autumn 2022 was an unforgettable experience, and we want to build on that. Since we played in the Carolina Panthers’ stadium in Charlotte in the summer of 2016, it’s a great story to welcome the Panthers to Munich.”

The game against the Giants was originally slated to be a home game for the 2024 season.

Carolina defeated Tampa Bay 37-26 in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London in 2019 in its only other international appearance.
