MADRID \u2014 The NFL said Monday it will play more regular-season games in Madrid.<\/p>\n
The league announced it has reached a multiyear deal to keep playing at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.<\/p>\n
It did not immediately say the length of the new agreement or which teams will play in 2026.<\/p>\n
The first NFL regular-season game in Spain was played at the Bernabeu last November as the Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders 16-13 in overtime before a crowd of 78,610 fans. <\/p>\n
It was the seventh \u2014 and final \u2014 international game of the season, the most ever in one year for the league as it continues to expand globally.<\/p>\n
The NFL played for the first time in Dublin and Berlin in 2025. It also returned for a second straight year to Sao Paulo and played three more games in London.<\/p>\n
There had been talks of the league also trying to organize a game in Barcelona at some point.<\/p>\n
The NFL said it planned to increase the number of international games to a point where each team will get to play a game abroad every year. Goodell said last year the NFL also wants to play in Asia. <\/p>\n
This year, it will go to Australia and add a game in Rio de Janeiro. It will also play a game in Munich, Germany, and three in London. <\/p>\n
The Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears currently have marketing rights in Spain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MADRID \u2014 The NFL said Monday it will play more regular-season games in Madrid.
