There are no direct commercial flights from Kansas City to Germany, but the area’s football fans might push for them soon.

On Sunday, German fans of American football will get their second taste of NFL regular-season action when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Miami Dolphins in what is undoubtedly the league’s highest-profile international game to date. Both 6-2 teams are tied for the best record in the AFC, and quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Tua Tagovailoa are among the MVP favorites midway through the season.

In 2022, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks treated fans in Munich to such a successful German debut that the NFL decided to play not one but two games in Frankfurt this fall. Next week, the New England Patriots will play the Indianapolis Colts. Both games sold out almost immediately this summer.
