New York Giants 2026 schedule rumors
According to longtime NFL insider and author Gary Myers, the G-Men are rumored to play an international game in 2026, with all signs pointing toward a return to Munich, Germany. Utilizing their marketing rights through the NFL's Global Markets Program, Big Blue could get a "home game" at Allianz Arena, with potential opponents including the Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans, or Cleveland Browns.
The last time they played in Germany, they put up an offensive stinker, losing to the Carolina Panthers 20-17 in overtime.
