Tampa Bay Buccaneers to play in first NFL regular-season game in Germany

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play in the NFL's inaugural regular-season game in Munich, Germany, the league announced Monday.

The league was previously weighing up three potential German host cities -- Munich, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf -- with a goal to host its first games in the country no later than 2023.

The NFL will host the first game with the Buccaneers at the Allianz Arena in Munich next season, followed by Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt in 2023. The league would then return to Munich in 2024 and Frankfurt in 2025.

"We look forward to participating in the first regular-season NFL game in Munich, Germany later this fall as part of the International Series," said Buccaneers Owner/Co-Chairman Joel Glazer in a prepared statement.
