Frankfurt Galaxy

What Frankfurt Galaxy does

Frankfurt Galaxy is a professional American football franchise headquartered at Richard-Herrmann-Platz 1, 60386 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, operating as a private German limited liability company (B.G.A. Football Betriebs GmbH). Founded in 2021, the franchise won the inaugural European League of Football (ELF) Championship and now competes as a founding member of the newly independent European Football Alliance (EFA) for the 2026 season. The team plays home games at PSD Bank Arena with a 10-game regular-season schedule.

The franchise's core product is live American football entertainment, complemented by a branded merchandise e-commerce operation at galaxy-shop.eu and a digital content platform (website, Instagram, email newsletter, YouTube streaming via EFA). The underlying technology stack is commodity — standard ticketing through Ticketmaster (tmtickets.de), e-commerce for merchandise, and league-operated streaming — with no proprietary technology or AI capabilities disclosed.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: ticket sales across three tiers (standing room from €15, seated from €22, VIP from €157), merchandise sales (jerseys, hoodies, caps, tracksuits), and corporate sponsorships. Key sponsors include InterNetX (main sponsor), SIXT (mobility partner), Lotto Hessen (premium partner), Stromkreis GmbH (energy partner), cosnova (social initiative partner), and others. Distribution is multi-channel: digital ticketing via Ticketmaster, on-site sales at PSD Bank Arena, e-commerce at galaxy-shop.eu, and direct corporate sales for partnerships. The franchise serves sports fans in the Frankfurt and Rhine-Main region, with attendance of 6,100+ reported at a Week 9 home game in 2025.
