The road to the German Football League championship narrows to four teams as the semifinals are set to kick off on September 27, featuring a clash of reigning champions against a historic contender and a battle between a dominant force and a debutante.

Munich Cowboys (GFL South #2 seed) @ Potsdam Royals (GFL North #1 seed)

The defending champion Potsdam Royals host the Munich Cowboys at the Sportpark Luftschiffhafen. The Royals enter the game following a commanding 42-25 quarterfinal victory over the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns, showcasing their high-powered offense. They face a Cowboys team fresh off a dramatic 44-31 overtime win against the Berlin Rebels, marking their first semi-final appearance in 24 years. This matchup pits Potsdam’s established championship pedigree against Munich’s resilient and inspired playoff run.

Dresden Monarchs (GFL North #2 seed) @ Ravensburg Razorbacks (GFL South #1 seed)

The Ravensburg Razorbacks, making their first semi-final appearance in club history after a decisive 42-22 quarterfinal win over the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes, will host the Dresden Monarchs. The Monarchs advanced by defeating the Pforzheim Wilddogs 41-22, leveraging their experience from the tough GFL North. The game at TeleData-Stadion Lindenhof features a classic playoff contrast: the Cinderella story of Ravensburg against the seasoned, championship-caliber Dresden squad.
