The NFL is preparing to stage a regular-season game at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu stadium, with the Cincinnati Bengals scheduled to face the Atlanta Falcons on November 8, 2026. The matchup will bring American football to one of Europe's most iconic soccer venues, though Madrid itself does not have its own NFL franchise. The game marks another step in the league's international expansion strategy, following previous contests in London, Munich, and Mexico City. Forbes contributor Sam Leveridge reported on the upcoming event, which is expected to draw a capacity crowd to the recently renovated Bernabéu.
