NFL send Brady to Germany and Packers to London at last

The five international fixtures of the 2022 regular season will see some firsts and an opportunity for the league's newest Irish hopeful to play close to home

Munich-bound: Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Seattle Seahawks in Germany on November 13. 

Gridiron's concerted European expansion will continue next season as the NFL sends the retired-then-unretired Tom Brady to conquer Germany, takes the Green Bay Packers overseas for the first time and offers an unlikely Irish recruit the chance to potentially play close to home. 

The NFL announced details of its international fixtures Wednesday with the headline act, unsurprisingly, being Brady. The all-time great will helm the league's first ever regular season game in Germany when his Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Seattle Seahawks at the home of Bayern Munich, the Allianz Arena, on November 13.
