Predator Feeding Session
The Düsseldorf Panthers are gearing up for the 46th edition of the German Football League (GFL), the top-tier American football competition in Germany. Here's what fans can expect from the Panthers' upcoming season schedule, hygiene measures, and live streaming:
### Season Schedule
The regular season will kick off on May 10, 2025, and is set to conclude on September 7, 2025, followed by the playoffs. The league is divided into north and south conferences, and the Panthers' schedule will include playing all other clubs in their division twice (home and away), as well as teams from the other division of their conference once. They will also face one home and one away game against a team from the opposite conference. Each team plays 12 regular season games, with the southern conference having one fewer team, which may result in additional games for some teams.
The season will culminate with the GFL Bowl on October 11, 2025, in Dresden. The top four teams from each conference will advance to the playoffs, while the eighth-placed team in each conference will play a two-leg relegation/promotion playoff against the winner of the second tier league conference for the next season qualification.
### Hygiene Measures
