The NFL has returned to Germany! The second of two NFL games in Germany for the 2023 NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts vs New England Patriots kicks off on Sunday, November 12 at 3:30 PM CET (2:30 PM GMT / 9:30 AM ET) at Frankfurt Stadium. Missed out on getting tickets? We’ll explain where you can watch Colts vs Patriots online and how you can watch abroad with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
We should point out that we’ll only be recommending official sources for streaming Colts vs Patriots. Unlicensed streams aren’t worth the trouble and may result in you missing out on the game. Indeed, many will be pulled offline for copyright violation. Unauthorized streams also tend to be lower resolution, making for an inferior streaming experience. To watch NFL Germany: Colts vs Patriots, you’re best off sticking with the official sources listed in this post.
Indianapolis Colts vs New England Patriots will only be available to stream on region-locked platforms. If you want to watch via your usual streaming service from home, you’ll need a VPN.
How to watch NFL Germany: Colts vs Patriots online with a VPN
You can use a VPN to watch NFL Germany: Indianapolis Colts vs New England Patriots online from abroad. A VPN lets you bypass the geographic restrictions of streaming platforms by changing your IP address and spoofing your location (making it look as if you’re still streaming the game from home).
Here’s how to live stream Colts vs Patriots using a VPN:
- Sign up with a VPN provider. We particularly recommend NordVPN. However, you can also seamlessly stream the NFL with ExpressVPN and Surfshark.
- Download and install the VPN app that’s compatible with your streaming device. All of the best VPNs allow you to connect multiple devices at the same time.
- Open the VPN app before connecting to a server in the country of the streaming platform you wish to access. For example, a server in the US for accessing NFL+.
- Go to the streaming platform in question and sign in if you haven’t already. Select a live stream. It should now be unblocked and available to watch.
- That’s it! If you have any trouble, be sure to clear your cookies and refresh your browser. Some IP addresses may not work so it’s worth trying more than one server.
The NFL Germany matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots will air live. You can reduce the risk of missing out on the action by testing your VPN with your chosen stream ahead of time. Doesn’t work? Your VPN’s customer support may be able to assist you further.

How to watch Colts vs Patriots live online in the US
You can stream NFL Germany: Indianapolis Colts vs New England Patriots on NFL Network in the US. Remember that due to the time difference, the game kicks off in the morning (9:30 AM ET / 6:30 AM PT on Sunday, November 5). You may already have NFL Network as part of your cable TV subscription, in which case you’d simply sign in via the NFL’s website or the official app to watch at no added cost.
If you don’t have cable TV, know that there are also ways to watch NFL Network cable-free. The most affordable option is NFL+, the NFL’s new streaming service. This costs $6.99 USD a month (or $14.99/month if you want access to game replays and NFL RedZone) and includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. While blackout restrictions do apply to NFL+, a VPN can help you bypass them.
Alternatively, NFL Network is available via FuboTV ($74.99/month), Hulu with Live TV ($76.99/month with Disney+ and ESPN+ included), Sling TV ($40/month), and YouTube TV ($72.99/month). FuboTV and YouTube TV currently offer free trials. Of these TV streaming options, Sling TV is the most affordable. At the time of writing, the first month with Sling TV is just $20.
All of the above options are only available in the US. To watch them from abroad, connect to a VPN server located within the country. This ensures you get a US IP address for accessing and streaming Colts vs Patriots as normal. If you still need a VPN to do this, you can always try NordVPN which comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
Where else can I watch Colts vs Patriots online?
One of the best options for watching Colts vs Patriots is NFL Game Pass which is now on DAZN. This subscription streaming service is available in most countries worldwide.
The cost of NFL Game Pass on DAZN varies by country. Prices have recently dropped to reflect the fact that half of the NFL regular season has already been played. For example, a Season Pro subscription (access to all games including playoffs and Super Bowl) now costs £75.00 (previously £150.00) for the rest of the season (and offseason). A Weekly Pro subscription is priced at £14.00.
While you can access NFL Game Pass in most countries, it’s not available in the US. If you travel abroad and encounter geo-blocking, you’ll need a VPN to get around it. Admittedly, DAZN’s restrictions are particularly difficult to bypass. Providing you use one of the best VPNs for DAZN, you can then change your IP address to match your home country and stream Colts vs Patriots without restriction.
What should I know about NFL Germany: Colts vs Patriots?
NFL London Games have been taking place every year since 2007 (with the only exception being 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Germany had its very first regular season NFL game in 2022 as NFL legend Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 16-21 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
This year’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots is the second of two 2023 NFL games in Germany. Just last week (November 5), the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Miami Dolphins 14-21. Unlike these teams, the Colts and Patriots aren’t likely playoff contenders so it’s as an exciting matchup. Hopefully the two teams can surprise and provide plenty of touchdowns!
Colts vs Patriots: Who’s the favorite to win?
At the time of writing (before week 10’s NFL games have been played), the Indianapolis Colts have a record of 4-5. Meanwhile, the Patriots are arguably one of the worst teams in the league with a record of 2-7. The Colts, in particular, have had little trouble scoring points but have conceded plenty of points in the process.
The Colts are slight favorites to win but you can never truly rule out the Patriots pulling off a surprise win while head coach Bill Belichick remains in charge.
