The international slate for the 2025 NFL season is coming into focus as the league has now established the home teams for all five of its announced games taking place on foreign soil. On Friday, the Miami Dolphins were selected as the host for the inaugural NFL Madrid Game as the National Football League heads to Spain for the first time in the regular season. The game will take place at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu stadium, which is the home venue for Real Madrid CF of La Liga.
“We are thrilled to play the NFL’s inaugural game in Spain, a country of rich history, tradition, and passion and home to a vibrant Dolphins fanbase,” said Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel on Jan. 17. “There is a hunger for football in this market, and we are proud to join with the NFL in growing the game internationally while engaging with old and new fans alike. With the unique synergy between Miami and Madrid, we believe this is only the beginning for us in this incredible region, and we look forward to bringing the excitement and community of Dolphins football to Spain in 2025 and beyond.”
