The Bernabéu will once again become the home of the NFL in Spain. The NFL has confirmed that the Atlanta Falcons and the Cincinnati Bengals will play the 2026 NFL Madrid Game on November 8 at 3:30 pm at the Bernabéu.
This is the second regular-season NFL game held in Spain, solidifying the Bernabéu as one of the premier international venues for the American league.
The Bengals arrive in Madrid as one of the most exciting offenses in the NFL
The Cincinnati Bengals, Super Bowl finalists in the 2021 season and considered one of the teams with the greatest offensive potential in the competition, will land in Madrid for the first time to headline one of the year's major international sporting events.
Facing them will be the Atlanta Falcons, the franchise previously designated as the home team for the game that the NFL will organize at the Bernabéu as part of its international expansion strategy.
The Bernabéu strengthens its role as an international venue for major sporting events
The 2026 NFL Madrid Game is part of the multi-year agreement reached between the NFL, Real Madrid C.F., the Madrid City Council, and the Community of Madrid to establish the Bernabéu as a venue for major global sports and entertainment events.
The previous event set record numbers. The first official NFL, game held at the Bernabéu in November 2025, between the Miami Dolphins and the Washington Commanders, was watched by over six million viewers worldwide.
Additionally, the event showcased the Bernabéu's technological and logistical capabilities to adapt to other sports competitions.
