"The first NFL regular-season game in Spain was played at the Bernabeu last November as the Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders 16-13 in overtime before a crowd of 78,610 fans. It was the seventh - and final - international game of the season, the most ever in one year for the league as it continues to expand globally. The NFL played for the first time in Dublin and Berlin in 2025."
"The NFL said it planned to increase the number of international games to a point where each team will get to play a game abroad every year. Goodell said last year the NFL also wants to play in Asia. This year, it will go to Australia and add a game in Rio de Janeiro. It will also play a game in Munich, Germany, and three in London."
The NFL reached a multiyear agreement to continue staging regular-season games at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu, without disclosing the agreement length or 2026 teams. The first regular-season game in Spain occurred last November when the Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders 16-13 in overtime before 78,610 fans. That game was the seventh and final international contest of the season, the most in one year for the league. The NFL added games in Dublin, Berlin, Sao Paulo and London in 2025. Plans call for more international contests so each team eventually plays abroad annually, with expansions into Australia, Rio de Janeiro and Munich.
