The Frankfurt Universe are a German American football team from Frankfurt, Hesse.
The club was formed in 2007. Previously Frankfurt had the NFL Europa team Frankfurt Galaxy. In late 2014 the club announced that it had purchased the rights for the Galaxy name.

In the official 2015 table of the German Football League however the team is still listed as Frankfurt Universe.[1] It was renamed again as Frankfurt Universe in 2016.
Starting in 2015 the team plays at Frankfurter Volksbank Stadion, home ground of association football team FSV Frankfurt.[2][3]
