The Falcons will play at the Bernabéu in the second edition of the NFL Madrid Game. The NFL has revealed that the Atlanta franchise will be one of the two teams featured in another game where thousands of fans from around the world can enjoy the spectacle of American football in an unparalleled setting.
Following the resounding success of the first official game held on November 16, in which the Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders, the Bernabéu once again positions itself as the NFL's home in Spain with this new historic event.
“It is an honor to be part of an NFL regular-season game in Madrid, at the iconic Bernabéu. Additionally, we are thrilled to collaborate with exceptional partners such as Real Madrid C.F., the Madrid City Council, and the Community of Madrid. For the Falcons, it is truly an honor,” stated Greg Beadles, the president and CEO of the Atlanta team.
The Falcons' opponent, along with the date and kickoff time of the game, will be announced when the full 2026 NFL schedule is released.
The Bernabéu, a global reference for the NFL in Europe
The NFL's debut at the madridista stadium was an organizational and technological milestone, followed by over 6 million fans worldwide. The game also demonstrated its extraordinary transformative capacity by converting the historic home of Real Madrid into a top-tier American football stadium in record time, meeting the highest technical, logistical, and safety standards required by the American league.
The hosting of this second official game, part of a multi-year agreement, confirms the stadium's international projection as a multifunctional venue of reference, where sports, culture, gastronomy, and entertainment converge at the highest level.
