The date and opponent for the Miami Dolphins’ game in Madrid, Spain this season will officially be announced Tuesday morning, but a Spanish news outlet said on Monday it has the scoop.
According to Diario AS, a publication based in Madrid which has 3.3 million followers on X, the Dolphins will play the Washington Commanders on Nov. 16.
Miami was first announced as the designated home team for the NFL’s first game in Spain in January. It will be played in Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, home to famed Spanish soccer club Real Madrid.
Prior to Monday’s report, the Commanders had been a team rumored to be the away team against the Dolphins.
At the NFL annual meeting on March 31, coach Mike McDaniel was asked if he expected to play Washington in Spain. He was coy in revealing then whether he knew or not.
“I’m pretty sure we’re going international. I think we know that,” McDaniel said, to laughs at the league meeting. “It’s hard to keep track of what I’m supposed to say and what I’m not. We will be in Madrid. I don’t know against who.”
The official announcement of the Dolphins’ Spain game, along with the rest of the NFL’s slate of 2025 international games, will be revealed on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” Tuesday morning.
The league will have two games in London, with the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets as designated teams. Other international sites will be: Berlin, Germany involving the Indianapolis Colts; Dublin, Ireland with the Pittsburgh Steelers as the host; and São Paulo, Brazil featuring the Los Angeles Chargers.
Home and away opponents for the Dolphins’ 2025 schedule are already known, but dates for all the matchups will be announced Wednesday night.
