The New England Patriots landed in Munich this week to face the Detroit Lions in an NFL Week 10 matchup at Allianz Arena. Scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Sunday, November 15, the game marks the Patriots’ first international contest this season as they look to recover from a 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday.
New England’s defeat to Green Bay was one of their worst of the season, compounded by three interceptions from quarterback Drake Maye, who also threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns. That loss followed a mixed start to the season for the Patriots, who have won four of their last six games but have also suffered some heavy defeats. Their 2026 campaign so far includes losses to the Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Chicago Bears, balanced against wins over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins.
The Detroit Lions arrive in Germany on the back of a four-game winning streak. Despite their recent form, the Lions remain cautious, as every team in the NFC North has at least six wins. Detroit’s steady rise puts pressure on the Patriots, who sit just above .500 this season and hope to avoid falling further behind in the AFC standings.
The game will be broadcast live on Fox in the United States and available for streaming on DIRECTV and Fubo. Fans can start a free trial on DIRECTV to catch the game along with other NFL, NBA, and sports coverage.
Following this international clash, the Patriots will have a bye week before returning to face the Los Angeles Chargers on November 29. Their remaining schedule includes notable matchups against the Bills, Vikings, and Chiefs.
The Lions will be aiming to extend their winning streak and strengthen their position in the NFC, while the Patriots will seek to bounce back and regain momentum. The Allianz Arena in Munich offers a unique stage for both teams, as the NFL continues its efforts to expand its global reach.
The Patriots versus Lions game is set to kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, November 15, with both teams eager to secure a win abroad.
