KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As part of the Kansas City Chiefs’ marketing push in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the team announced Wednesday it’s reached a deal to broadcast select games in Europe.
The team is partnering with RTL Germany to feature the Chiefs preseason games on Sunday, Aug. 13 and Saturday, Aug. 26, on the German TV channel NITRO. The partnership allows Chiefs and football fans in Germany to watch the games over-the-air and on social.
In Dec. 2021, the NFL granted the Chiefs marketing opportunities in Germany along with the Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That marketing footprint was expanded in April to additional European counties.
Earlier this year, the NFL announced the Chiefs will play the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 5 in Frankfurt, Germany.
