The Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins will play at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany this Sunday November 5, 2023 at 9:30 AM Eastern Standard Time (the East Coast will turn back the clocks at 2 AM Sunday morning to Eastern Standard Time). This is 3:30 in the afternoon for the fans watching the game in person in Frankfurt.

This is the 1st of 2 NFL games that will be played this season in Frankfurt (the New England Patriots will face off against the Indianapolis Colts next weekend at the same venue) and this is the 2nd season of playing regular season NFL games in Germany (last NFL season the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played the Seattle Seahawks in Munich).

Deutsche Bank Park is a sports stadium that began hosting sporting events in 1925. It is the current home of the football (soccer) club Eintracht Frankfurt. Since its inaugural year of 1925, it has been upgraded several times and holds 51,500 fans for league football matches and 48,500 for American Football and international matches. The stadium was one of 9 venues that hosted the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup and also was a host stadium for the 2005 FIFA Confederation and the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

In preparation of hosting the pair of NFL games in November, a hybrid playing surface was installed last weekend. Many soccer stadiums in Europe use hybrid playing surfaces. No two hybrid playing surfaces are exactly alike as fields vary from 90% natural grass with synthetic fibers woven in to higher amounts (Liverpool's surface at Anfield is 95% natural grass) while some prefer slightly lower percentages of natural grass. The NFL decided to use a synthetic surface due to safety concerns for their players and a NFL game tends to be very difficult on and damage natural grass soccer surfaces.

The weather leading up to the game looks unsettled and cool. Rain will begin Saturday afternoon with high temperatures only near 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) and will fall at times Saturday night. Frankfurt has a similar climatology to Boston or New York City so this high temperature is only a few degrees below normal.

As a large storm system spins over the North Sea, the region will experience showery, breezy and chilly (low teens Celsius, low to mid 50s Fahrenheit for high temperatures) weather for the game itself on Sunday. Given this weather setup for Sunday's game, there is a good chance that the retractable roof will be closed while the game is being played.
