How to watch Detroit Lions vs. New England Patriots in Munich, Germany

The Detroit Lions take on the New England Patriots in Munich, Germany, in Week 10 of the 2026 NFL regular season on Sunday. 

The Lions (6-2) haven't played an international game since 2015. Detroit star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has a German mother and speaks the language fluently. They are one of 11 NFL teams that have league-granted marketing rights in Germany, allowing them to sign commercial deals, build brand awareness and hold fan activations.

Detroit is coming off a 19-9 road win over the Miami Dolphins. Lions kicker Jake Bates made four field goals, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown in the victory.

The Patriots will look to rebound from a 45-27 loss at home to the Green Bay Packers. QB Drake Maye was intercepted three times as New England's defense surrendered 372 passing yards.

Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is questionable for Sunday's game with a knee injury, according to the team, which put fellow RB TreVeyon Henderson on the injured reserve Saturday. Stevenson was limited in practice on Friday.

Lions safety Kerby Joseph, center Cade Mays and cornerback D.J. Reed have been ruled out and did not travel to Munich.
