Detroit Acquires Worldwide Marketing Rights in Germany and Canada

The NFL said on Monday that the Detroit Lions had been granted Global Marketing Program rights in many foreign markets.

The program was created to help teams expand their fan bases and market outside of the US, and the Lions will use it to start marketing in Germany, Canada, Austria, and Switzerland.

Teams can use these rights to market themselves in a variety of ways, and the program grants them to them for a period of five years. The Lions stated in a press release on Monday that they plan to take part in multiple ways, such as creating social media accounts in the national languages of each of the participating nations.

The Lions declared their intention to enhance young football instruction in these nations. They can now advertise themselves and sell goods in these particular foreign marketplaces.

The NFL has hosted multiple overseas games throughout the regular season in previous years. Five games, including three in the UK and two in Germany, were played in foreign markets during the 2023 campaign.

In addition to the three games slated in the UK and one in Germany, there will be one game in Brazil in 2024.

Due to the fact that host teams in international games receive rights through the Global Marketing Program, the popularity of these games has grown.
