CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers will play the New York Giants in Munich, Germany, during the 2024 International Series, the NFL announced on Wednesday.
Rumors started circulating on social media Tuesday over the matchup, with a Spanish radio personality saying Carolina would face the Giants at the Allianz Arena. The NFL confirmed the matchup will take place at 9:30 a.m. ET on Nov. 10, which is Week 10 of the NFL season.
Rubén Vargas posted that the Panthers will face off against the Giants in Munich at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, hours before the NFL confirmed any of its international games for the 2024 season.
The matchup makes sense. The Giants were added to the NFL's list of teams with Germany as a global market earlier this year, joining the Panthers and eight other teams.
Carolina was announced as the home team for a 2024 game in Germany in January. The only home opponents for the Panthers in 2024 that share Germany as a global market are the Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs -- and it's likely the Panthers will want to cash in on hosting the reigning Super Bowl champions in Charlotte.
Many people speculated it might actually be the Chiefs, though, pointing to pre-sale ticket options for the Giants game. Ticketmaster listed a presale for the Panthers vs Giants game at Bank of America Stadium on an undisclosed date. The listing was seen on Tuesday morning but was later deleted.
The other international games include the Packers vs. Eagles in Brazil on Sept. 6, plus a trio of London games. The New York Jets will play the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 6, the Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Chicago Bears on Oct. 13 and the final game will take place at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 20 between the New England Patriots and Jaguars.
The full schedule will be released on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
