The Santiago Bernabéu will host an NFL game for the first time in its history, with the event expected to take place in the fall of 2025.

This decision marks a significant milestone in the league’s international expansion, making Madrid the fourth European city to host an NFL game, following London, Munich, and Frankfurt.

The recent renovation of the stadium, including an innovative retractable pitch system, will allow the Bernabéu to easily adapt to the requirements of an American football field.

The games held in London have served as a trial run for what’s to come in Madrid, where Real Madrid’s stadium will transform into the epicenter of American football for a day.

While the teams for this historic matchup have not yet been confirmed, it’s anticipated that one of the teams will come from the American Football Conference (AFC), in line with the league’s international game rotation.

Franchises like the Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears, who have marketing rights in Spain, are potential candidates to headline this highly anticipated event.
