The Miami Dolphins will travel to Madrid this fall for the NFL’s first regular-season game in Spain.
The NFL announced the Dolphins as the designated home team for the historic matchup, which will be held at the iconic Bernabéu Stadium, home to Spanish soccer powerhouse Real Madrid.
“The exciting first-ever game in Spain underlines the NFL’s continued commitment to expanding its global footprint and reaching new audiences across the world,” Brett Gosper, head of Europe and APAC at the NFL, said in a statement. “The Miami Dolphins playing at the Bernabéu Stadium, home to Real Madrid C.F., showcases the global appeal of the league and of our sport, in what promises to be a historic moment.”
This will be the Dolphins’ seventh regular-season game on international soil. They are 1-5 overall overseas, with their most recent international game coming against the Kansas City Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany, during the 2023 season.
The Dolphins’ opponent for the Madrid game will be announced during the NFL’s full 2025 schedule release this spring.
