Start dusting off your passports! Following last year’s historic matchup at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Spain is officially staying on the NFL map.
After the Miami Dolphins secured a victory over the Washington Commanders at the home of Real Madrid in November, the league has announced a multi-year partnership with the City of Madrid and Comunidad de Madrid to keep bringing regular-season action to the European capital.
“The 2025 NFL Madrid game at the Bernabéu was a pivotal moment for the sport in Spain,” said NFL Spain Country Manager Rafa De Los Santos. “This multi-year commitment to playing games in Madrid — a world-class global cultural and sporting destination — underlines our commitment to the market and enables us to continue to engage fans year-round and invest long-term in initiatives like NFL Flag and youth participation nationwide.”
