NHL and Bayern Munich Forge Enduring Partnership to Grow Hockey in Germany
The NHL announced a multiyear partnership with Bayern Munich to grow hockey in Germany, adding four regular-season games in coming years (Bruins in Munich in 2027-28 and Oilers in Cologne) after two 2026 Düsseldorf games, plus joint branding, content, and merchandise; Bayern’s massive global following will help expand the NHL’s European footprint, with potential for future outdoor games at the Allianz Arena and further Germany-based events through 2028-29.
