The NFL is set to return to Spain in 2026, with regular-season games confirmed for Madrid’s iconic Bernabéu Stadium, home of Real Madrid. This follows the success of the 2025 matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders, which drew massive local and international interest. The Atlanta Falcons have already been announced as one of the teams participating in the 2026 game, with more matchups and details expected to be released later this year. Spain, with over 11 million NFL fans, is a key market for the league’s global expansion, and the NFL is investing in grassroots programs like NFL Flag to grow the sport at all levels across the country.
U.S. fans are increasingly traveling to Spain for these historic games, drawn by the unique opportunity to see their favorite teams play in one of Europe’s most passionate sports cities. Travel packages, celebrity meet-and-greets, and exclusive tailgate experiences make the trip even more appealing, allowing fans to combine their love of football with the chance to explore Madrid’s rich culture and cuisine. The NFL’s commitment to Spain, including year-round fan engagement and partnerships with local organizations, ensures that these games are more than just a one-off event—they’re part of a growing international football community.
Looking ahead, the NFL’s presence in Spain is expected to expand, with the potential for more games, fan events, and even college football exhibitions in the future. For U.S. travelers, this means more opportunities to experience American football abroad, connect with local fans, and be part of the sport’s exciting global growth. Whether you’re a die-hard NFL supporter or simply love the energy of live sports, Spain’s football scene is rapidly becoming a must-visit destination.
the tailgate party was the best, so much fun. the food was amazing, best food of the week. the game atmosphere was so exciting.
Making it all inclusive with all of the events made it very special.
Josh arranged a fantastic trip for us and it was truly amazing! Being in another country and watching your favorite football team play, from the pep rally to game day, was an amazing experience. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Hope to see you next year for another fantastic experience!
We chose Sports Fans Travel because of the itinerary. It was more than a football game — it was a thoughtfully curated Australian adventure. We tried kangaroo pie, stopped on a dark road to see the Milky Way and the Southern Cross, fed wallabies in the Blue Mountains, took in the Opera House from a ferry, and hung out with 49ers QB and Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia, who was so approachable and a great choice for our host. Josh and Zack were always there and took care of everyone and everything — nothing was too small or unimportant. That's what made it such a good value, and why we'll book with Sports Fans Travel again without hesitation.
