LIVESTREAM Austria: AFC Vienna Vikings @ Prague Black Panthers, June 1, 15:00 CET (3 pm, 9 am ET)

AFI | AFC Vienna Vikings | 06/01/2025

The Prague Black Panthers (3-3) and AFC Vienna Vikings (4-2) clash in a key Austrian Football League showdown at Eden Arena in Prague on Sunday, June 1, 2025 (3 p.m. local time), reigniting their rivalry from last year’s championship final.

Austrian Bowl rematch sets stage
The Vikings, runners-up in Austrian Bowl XXXIX, seek redemption after falling inches short against the Panthers in 2024. The Vikings enter with momentum from a narrow 24-21 loss to the Graz Giants, while Prague stunned the Danube Dragons 31-28 last week.

Vikings seek redemption
Head coach Benjamin Sobotka emphasized urgency: “We aim to erase the Graz loss by playing Vikings football for four full quarters. Defeating Prague is critical.” A win would push Vienna into a tie with Graz and Danube atop the standings.

Playoff implications intensify
For Prague, victory would knot them with Vienna at 4-3, bolstering playoff hopes. The Panthers’ defense, which stifled Danube’s late surge, faces a Vikings offense eager to rebound.

Sunday’s rematch promises high stakes, tactical grit, and a chance for Vienna to avenge their title heartbreak or for Prague to reaffirm their championship pedigree.
