GFL North supremacy clash headlines final regular-season slate

The German Football League’s 2025 regular season concludes on June 6 with seven games, featuring playoff positioning battles, pride-driven matchups, and a marquee North Division showdown between the unbeaten Dresden Monarchs (11-0) and surging Potsdam Royals (10-1).

Dresden Monarchs (11-0) @ Potsdam Royals (10-1)
The North Division’s top two teams collide at Heinz-Steyer-Stadion, with Dresden aiming to cap a perfect season and Potsdam seeking momentum ahead of their playoff rematch. The Monarchs’ league-best offense (499 points) faces the Royals’ stifling defense (111 points allowed).

Munich Cowboys (5-5) @ Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns (6-5)
A win secures the Unicorns’ South Division playoff berth, while the Cowboys look to salvage a .500 season. Both teams split previous meetings, with Schwäbisch Hall edging Munich 28-27 in May.

Berlin Rebels (7-4) @ Hildesheim Invaders (4-7)
Playoff-bound Berlin eyes a third-place North finish, while Hildesheim aims to rebound from a lopsided loss to the New Yorker Lions. The Rebels won their October 2024 clash 44-39 but face an Invaders squad playing for pride.

Kiel Baltic Hurricanes (6-5) @ Paderborn Dolphins (1-10)
Kiel fights to retain fourth in the North against the league-worst Dolphins, who are preparing for a relegation battle against the Hamburg Pioneers.

Saarland Hurricanes (4-7) @ Ravensburg Razorbacks (7-4)
South Division runner-up Ravensburg tunes up for the playoffs, while Saarland concludes a disappointing year. The Razorbacks dominated their prior matchup 42-35.

Braunschweig NY Lions (6-5) @ Allgäu Comets (2-8)
Braunschweig clings to playoff hopes in the North, needing a win and a Kiel loss to advance. The Comets, eliminated in the South, aim to build for 2026.

Straubing Spiders (3-8) @ Düsseldorf Panther (4-7)
Both eliminated teams close their seasons at Donausportzentrum Peterswöhrd, with Düsseldorf aiming to improve on a 4-7 record and Straubing seeking to avoid a ninth loss.

With playoff brackets nearly finalized, the weekend’s spotlight shines brightest on Dresden’s historic pursuit and Braunschweig’s last-ditch playoff push.
