The Dolphins will play in the NFL’s first Madrid game

The NFL will play its first ever game in Spain in the 2025 season, and they announced the designated home team for that contest on Friday.

The Dolphins will be in Madrid for the game, which will be played at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid. The stadium is home to the famous Real Madrid football club, but other details such as the date of the match and the Dolphins’ opponents will be announced at a later date.

“We are thrilled to play the NFL’s first game in Spain, a country rich in history, tradition and passion and home to a vibrant Dolphins fan base,” Dolphins CEO Tom Garfinkel said in a statement. “There is a hunger for soccer in this market and we are proud to join the NFL in growing the game internationally while engaging with both old and new fans. With the unique synergy between Miami and Madrid, we believe that this is just 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.”

The NFL will play five games in Europe during the 2025 season. The Jaguars, Jets and Browns will be the “home” teams in London, while the Colts will be the designated hosts for the league’s first Berlin game.
